This document discusses establishing a bridge between the free and open source software (FLOSS) community and FLOSS researchers through a website called ResearchFriendly.org. It aims to create win-win situations by addressing researchers' needs for survey responses and data access, while minimizing interruptions to developers. The site would coordinate periodic surveys, data requests, and feedback to build trust between the two groups and encourage collaboration. Researchers and developers would both benefit through improved understanding and validated tools. Open governance and outreach are needed to involve relevant institutions and projects.
