The questions below are categorised as "general research", the answers can be found by searching the website, or talking from experience, or other unstructured process (as opposed to google analytics or the survey). The ones best suited to answer these are consequently the ones most familiar with the project.
Questions
Are OFF's vision and strategy clear enough?
- No. Contributors do contribute for various reasons. We all share, to some extent, some of the visions: to be better informed can't be a bad thing. However there are many flavours in the reasons why we contribute. To have a common moto to help us focusing and remembering why we are all in it together (Cameron's pun intended) would help.
What are the key skills required to be able to contribute to the project?
What are the additional skills that make contribution more efficient?
What is the minimum infrastructure required to be able to contribute to the project?
- Internet access
- There are different ways to contribute to the project, all of them need some internet access _at some point_.
- e.g. one can take pictures of products with a camera, and then later upload the pictures to the web site
- There are different ways to contribute to the project, all of them need some internet access _at some point_.

Where is that minimum infrastructure available? Where is it not?
- in supermarkets you may not have coverage due to Faraday cage effect
