Some people had questions or comments following the initial survey announcement. I have tried to address them privately as they came, but
here's a run down for anyone who wondered but was unsure whether to ask:

Q: How do I match my ratings to items?
A: Any way you're comfortable with, as long as I can figure out which
rating is meant for which item from your reply. Two ways I know work
(not limitative): rating on a line by itself under each item, and rating
on a line by itself followed by a list of items it applies to. Note that
no rating for a given item isn't the same as "neutral/no opinion". If
you want that recorded as your rating, you must make it explicit or
state what rating I should use for items you didn't rate.

Q: How do I word my ratings?
A: Use the ones I specified so I don't have to ask you what you meant by
yours:
- critical
- important
- useful
- neutral (or no opinion)
- counterproductive.
If you answer "counterproductive", please explain why you think so. It
may mean an assumption about how people make use of the FreeBSD Handbook
or what for is incorrect, and that's definitely something I'd like to
know, whether or not I can exploit it in this improvement contract.

Q: Can you reformat your list of items to make it easier for me to read
and process?
A: Yes. See below, courtesy of fmt(1) after some manual linebreak
addition. (I've kept the one-line-per-item from the forwarded email as
well; answer whichever you're more comfortable reading.) The one thing I
ask is that you don't rate items in answer to this email if you already
did for the initial one.

Q: Will there be a web-based survey form?
A: I wasn't initially going to, in part due to privacy and accessibility concerns from relying on that alone, but enough have asked that I'm
looking at SurveyMonkey as a possible alternate delivery method. I'm not
making promises yet, because as I read the docs I may learn of limits
that make using it impossible or impractical. If and when there's one
up, I'll send another follow-up with the URL.

As for the initial survey, feel free to add and rate items you'd like considered that I haven't listed. Thank you.

Subject: FreeBSD Handbook improvement survey
Date: 2022-04-16 13:04
From: Pau Amma <pauamma@gundo.com>
To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org, freebsd-announce@freebsd.org
Reply-To: pauamma@gundo.com

The FreeBSD Foundation contracted me to develop a prioritized plan for improving and updating the FreeBSD Handbook. For the first stage of this project, I have identified a number of issues needing improvement. To prioritize the issues, please tell me which are important to you
personally. Specifically, please rate each of the items listed:
critical, important, useful, neutral (or no opinion), counterproductive.
If you chose "counterproductive", please explain why. If there are
things you'd like changed that I haven't listed, please add them and
rate them as above. Please respect the Reply-to and don't reply to all.
At this stage I am focusing on the English version, so please answer
based on that version's content, but translations may be updated to the
extent that translation teams are available.

I intend to close this survey on April 30 at 11:59:59pm UTC (see https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=End+of+survey+answer+collection&iso=20220430T235959&p1=%3A
for the equivalent in your timezone). To allow for delays email
delivery, please try replying at least 90 minutes before the deadline.
