This approach is not likely to help unless the respondents are policy makers. The best approach would be to ground your questions.

I edited the wiki a bit, but did not complete it.

But see the part about gender identity for example. Ideas of "minorities" are best approached from a grounded perspective. How, for example, would you extract information about the intersection of caste and the FOSS infrastructure in India?

conversations, perception etc, and not about summaries. Even if you are going to ask the questions to people involved in diversity, you need to ground the questions. hth Best A. Mani

Don't expect participants to understand "discriminatory behaviour" and "harassment" Break it down as per the scope of the survey. "fairness in evaluation of work", "verbal abuse", "sexist remarks", ""etc attention must be paid to contexts : Online/Offline Also add privacy related statements, disclaimers etc to the survey.
