I have updated the original questionnaire and published it. Unfortunately it got shot down almost immediately by Google+ Community moderator William Jon McCann as polls are not allowed.
Does the marketing team have any spare advice for me on how to reach the community before I start spamming distro forums?
Thank you, once again.
At first I wasn't sure if I should span all of 3.x because many of the issues of previous releases have been pinpointed by now.
But in hindsight and looking at which versions are default for most distros, it makes much more sense.
I will make the appropriate changes.
Thank you, everybody.--

3.8? Or did you want to make the survey about 3.x? I think it's unlikely
right now that anyone running 3.8 has it because someone else installed it
for them or because it's the default on their distro. It'll take some time
for that :)One idea is to focus the survey on the 3.x family, instead of in a single release. With this, we would also be able to explore the perceived improvement of GNOME 3 for those users that have been using it since 3.0 (or later). For example, we could ask 1) what release they are currently using and how do they rate it; and 2) how do they rate the improvement between this release and the first one they used (would be interesting to know which release was that).
