  • The objective of this question was to find out which documenation area was seen as the highest priority
  • This question was multi-answer and allowed respondents to respond to each of the individual answer choice statements. (NOTE: This also means that respondents could skip answering a question)

 

Conclusions

  • 61% of respondents thought that the Technical Documentation was the highest priority
  • 67% of respondents thought that the End User Documentation was the highest priority
  • The highest response (81%) was that both Technical and End User Documentation are important

Conclusions

  • I now think that this question should have been a single answer only (rather than a multi-answer) because a respondent could agree with all three and it doesnt give a clean result breakdown that I was looking for
  • In general respondents thought that work needs to be done on both Technical and End User documentation

Comments and Conclusions

 

Comments

  • The objective of this question was to find out whether respondents feel part of a community, are currently involved or want to be involved
  • Responses from officially involved respondents (21%) imply they are contributors, committers or PMC 
  • The most exciting figure I see is the 28% of respondents wanting to be more involved with the project. It would be good to somehow identify these people and get them actively involved.
  • Another healthy figure is that 48% of respondents read, ask or respond using the community mailing lists
  • There were 3% of respondents that didnt feel that they were part of an existing community. This is unfortunate and may highlight a potential gap in how the community is commuicated to.

Conclusions

  • The biggest result here is the number of people wanting to become more involved with the community

Summary

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey that enabled me to provide these results.

I hope that these are useful now and into the future as we continue to look and survey or community base.
