  • The objective of this question was to find out how difficult it was for the community to find specific OFBiz documentation.
  • This question was a multi-answer one and allowed respondents to respond to each of the individual answer choice statements. (NOTE: This also means that respondents could skip answering a question)
  • The majority of respondents (65%) thought that it was easy to find documentation about how to download and install OFBiz but 25% disagreed meaning there is a potential documentation gap that needs to be filled
  • The responses for finding documentation about setting up and configuring OFBiz were a lot closer - 36% disagreed that it was easy while 41% thought it was. This high disagreement figure suggest another documentation gap
  • I was surprised to see that 45% disagreed that finding documentation about developing or customising OFBiz was easy. As a development framework I would have thought this information was readily available using the current technical guides. This may indicate that the guides need to be looked at again to ensure that they are up to date and relevent
  • The biggest negative response (61%) came from whether they thought that finding documentation about what OFBiz does out of the box was easy. This is a significant result and definitely highlights a huge documentation gap

...

  • The objective of this question was to find out how actively used the mailing lists are used for as a source of information

  • This was an interesting result because it shows that respondents are currently using a combination of source (Wiki and mailing list) to find out information
  • 78% use the mailing lists on a regular basis

...

  • The mailing list is being used as alternate source of information to the Wiki.
