Re: FIRST Alumni Community
Great first step! But oy, the skewing, the skewing! Especially with the "years involved" area.

Appropriate early primary market research (aka informal focus groups of active alumni) would have probably shown that alumni do more than just exist on teams: they volunteer, sponsor, kvetch on CD...you know what I mean. So the number is going to be different than would come up if the question was asked "years spent as a student on an FRC team".

Furthermore, "years involved in FIRST" doesn't take into account the people who count their years being carried to competition in the womb while their sibling/parent/friend was competing (ok, I'm exaggerating...but once again, you know what I mean.), but all in all it skews the data even more.

Hopefully, this isn't the end, but instead a gateway email aggregator so that a more detailed survey can be administered...if you know what I mean
