Community Owners and Moderators Migration Survey
The question of how to migrate G+ Communities is one we've been wrestling with. Simply contacting mods is a significant hurdle. Though we know some of you are here in G+MM. We'd like to get a better sense of who you and your communities are.
Update: We're thinking of switching this to a Google Forms collection, though entries can still be submitted as comments below.
