I plan on using Survs.com (where we have Premium account for free, thanks to Survs admins). It has good online analysis tools, allows to download results in easy parseable format[1], and has support for multiple channels.

[1]: https://github.com/jnareb/GitSurvey-scripts

It is possible to have a channel without JavaScript and without cookies (anonymous), at the cost of having to fill the survey in one go (without cookies and JavaScript you cannot go back to fill more questions, or change your mind about answers). The main page of survey would have a link to JavaScript-free version, and all announcements (by me) would include it.

There would be no graphics that are not purely optional (decorative); probably there would be just a logo.

I'm not sure how Tor-friendly is this host.

A question: would it be better to have the whole survey one one large page, or have it split into pages (with fever questions per page)?

P.S. With from 3k to 11k responses (I hope for at least 5k) Git User's Survey is outside of the free tier of most if not all web survey sites. I guess I could cobble something together out of Google Forms, but we would loose online analysis (and probably some of data that Survs.com makes available in download).

Best regards,
