<body><div>I'm not entirely sure what official support would look like. A few things come to mind:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. Simply putting "official" somewhere in the title, such as: Official 2018 state of Haskell survey.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2. Putting something about Haskell.org in the description of the survey, such as: Sponsored by Haskell.org. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>3. Announcing the survey through channels that I may not be aware of. Or helping me announce the survey through various channels (mailing lists, Reddit, and so on) by mentioning Haskell.org. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm sure there are more ways that I'm not thinking of. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Perhaps it would be better to state my goal and see what, if anything, can be to achieve that goal? My goal is for this survey to be *the* authoritative Haskell survey and for the community to broadly accept it results. In particular I would like to avoid reactions like these to the recent FP Complete survey:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>> I browse r/haskell all the time <i>and</i> follow FPco on Twitter, and I wasn't aware of this survey. [1]<br></div>
<div><div><div><br></div>
</div>
<div>> It should not be surprising to think that fp complete has much better outreach to Stackage users than to non Stackage users. [2]<br></div>
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>> Any survey hosted by FPComplete is biased towards users of stack, for reasons that should be self evident. [3]<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Similar sentiments have been expressed about last year's Haskell Weekly survey:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>> Haskell Weekly's reputation is tainted as it appears to be seen as partisan (and I tend to agree). [4]<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>> one of those surveys is from FP Complete and one of them is from someone
who I would consider very partisan in these kind of discussions. [5]<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>> For the love of god stop posting those surveys. They're not convincing and obviously flawed. [6]<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I don't expect to be able to make everyone happy, but I think that presenting this year's survey as sponsored by both Haskell Weekly and Haskell.org would go a long way toward making it acceptable to a broad range of the Haskell community. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I hope that helps! <br></div>

<div> Hello! My name is Taylor Fausak. I run the Haskell Weekly newsletter. Last year I published a survey [1] for the Haskell community. I collected and reported [2] on about 1,335 responses. I plan on publishing another survey this year on the same date, November 1st. I am developing it in the open again [3] and would love to hear from any interested parties. Please let me know if you have any ideas about the survey! <br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> This year I am interested in making the survey official by seeking support from Haskell.org. Is such a thing possible and desirable? <br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> Thanks for your consideration! I hope to hear from you soon.<br></div>
