Not really. If you want to delve somewhat into their computer knowledge, it
may be best to do it as 'Do you know what * is?', not 'What is *?'... That
way we get a better feel for the knowledge level of each person in concrete
binary or trinary [1] (yes/no/maybe) terms. That's suited better to analysis
and database storage than essay-style answers are.

I think it might be better if the announces are separate. If SEG is folded
into SEUL, it may get lost in the other stuff. Besides, SEG is broader in
it's goals, kinda. SEG wants to find out what people want in general, SEUL
wants to create a distribution to fill that niche. SEG, as it is defined
now, could (if we choose) be used by other groups, even if they're not
directly related to SEUL. That's a major resource draw, however, so it's not
likely for anything but the very random question, but if we can structure SEG
with multiple copies of Aldo :) we might be able to do that.

Cool.
