It's not really any of my business, but when I read "People of openSUSE", I want to know about the people, not about what they do in the project.
Well, I actually wanted to merge these questions with the current question sheet.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
The problem with the current question sheet is that it is far too long. Having more than 5-6 questions simply makes it a tl;dr thing.
Moreover, the current questions don't invite an interesting answer. If you ask "what is your favorite color" chances are you get "blue". In other words, a completely boring and uninteresting answer. If you ask "what is the coolest thinkg you ever did in openSUSE" you get a _personal story_, which is obviously a lot more interesting.
Actually, I think you're likely to get equally boring answers to both of those questions. However, the open style of the latter is much better than the closed ditto of the former. I would just change the 2nd question to "what is the coolest thing you ever did?"
Ok, let me change this on the wiki and let's try and keep it to those questions then. I still do disagree that asking for 'your favorite color' and asking for 'coolest thing you did in openSUSE' are equally likely to get a boring answer but it's hard to prove that :D
I just suggest to resist the urge to add too much, dilluting what's actually interesting. For everyone who loves to read 3 page long interviews with questions about pets and the color of your underwear, 99 people tune out.
Or vice versa.
