As part of this project, API users should be on the lookout for a very brief survey [...] about the features that you most use/would like to see in the API or data dumps moving forward so that we can plan for those, as well as collect general input.

Why a survey though? You have this?

• is:q [feature-request] [api] -[status-completed] -[status-declined] -[status-bydesign] score:1.. closed:no
• is:q [feature-request] [data-dump] -[status-completed] -[status-declined] -[status-bydesign] score:1.. closed:no
• is:q [feature-request] [data-explorer] -[status-completed] -[status-declined] -[status-bydesign] score:1.. closed:no
