If somebody needs hints I'm happy to share (of course ;-) ) our
experience.<br>

Yes, it's cumbersome. And it is depressing most of the time, because
you'll have the feeling you won't make it most of the time.<br>

Definitely. I can tell you it's pretty cold out there standing in the
pedestrian zone a whole afternoon. But you'll meet a lot of nice people.<br>

If you are well-prepared, have enough pirates to support you, and are
willing to sustain the effort over many weeks. Without knowing the
exact numbers I estimate that we had 20-50 active collectors and 3-4
months for around 1500 signatures (we needed 1000, but went for safety
as a good portion of them were considered invalid by the authorities,
e.g. signatory was not allowed to vote).<br>
