    Open Source Computer Forensics Initiative Survey
    
    The purpose of this survey is to determine if there exists a need for an
    Open Source methodology manual or standard operating procedures on Computer
    Forensics and what is the content and form the community would desire in
    such a resource.
    Please email me your feedback before the end of this week, I'll be posting
    to the list the results on Monday 12th.
    Don't panic, there are very few questions, the only goal is to see if there
    is a need and desire to create such a resource, it will take you less than 2
    minutes :)
    
    
    1) Do you feel there is a need for an Open Source Methodology Manual for
    Computer Forensics? [Y/N]:
    
    2) Do you feel such a standard already exists? [Y/N]:
       If [YES] please provide information on it:
       Name: ___________________
       URL: ___________________
    
       *If [NO] what do you think is missing to any of the available resources?
        (That is, what pitfalls you feel we should avoid in this project)
    
       Individual initiatives, not developed by the community [Y/N]:
       Not truly Open, no GNU License [Y/N]:
       Not used by enough people to accept it as a standard [Y/N]:
       Not subject to a formal peer review process inside the community [Y/N]:
       Not kept up-to-date [Y/N]:
       Not enough detail, very abstract or merely "Principles" (ex. G8) [Y/N]:
    
       *Any other insight as to what has gone wrong with other initiatives:
    ___________
    
    3) Do you feel there is a need for an Open Source Standard Operating
    Procedures Manual for computer forensics? [Y/N]:
    
    4) Do you feel such a standard already exists? [Y/N]:
       If [YES] please provide information on it:
       Name: ___________________
       URL: ___________________
    
       *If [NO] what do you think is missing to any of the available resources?
        (That is, what pitfalls you feel we should avoid in this project)
    
       Individual initiatives, not developed by the community [Y/N]:
       Not truly Open, no GNU License [Y/N]:
       Not used by enough people to accept it as a standard [Y/N]:
       Not subject to a formal peer review process inside the community [Y/N]:
       Not kept up-to-date [Y/N]:
       Not enough detail provided [Y/N]:
    
       *Any other insight as to what has gone wrong with other initiatives:
    ___________
    
    5) Do you think that we should adopt one of the existing methodologies and
    from that base develop appropriate Standard Operating Procedures? [Y/N]:
    
       *If [YES] which methodology you believe should be considered?:
    ____________
    
    6) Do you think such a resource should also include technical procedures
    [Y/N]:
    
       *If [YES] please provide more detail:
    
       Technical Procedures should be developed once the general methodology and
    non technical procedures/protocols are ready [Y/N]:
       Technical Procedures should be separated from methodology and
    non-technical procedures/protocols [Y/N]:
    
    7) Do you feel the effort should be made to provide simpler methodology and
    procedures for non-liturgical forensics scenarios? [Y/N]:
    
    8) Other comments you deem necessary regarding the creation of an open
    source reference for computer forensics: _________________
