Response Frequency

- The majority of responses were recorded during the first two days
- Based on this I would suggest that future surveys be limited to a week

Comments and Conclusions:
Only 76 people responded.I had expected the community response to be larger considering that the mailing lis has over 1000 registered users. (Some of these are duplicates as people use different profiles for dev and user lists).
...
- The objective of this question was to find out what the community profile was like.This was a multi-answer question meaning that respondents could select more than one option.
- It was surprising for me to find that the majority of respondents are OFBiz integrators or offer OFBiz consulting services
...
- as considering how long OFBiz has been around I would have expected a larger end user community.
- Of the 9 respondents that were "evaluating OFBiz for their company's use" 6 of them were not integrators or consultants. This suggests that these 6 are in fact real end users.I suspect the end user community is a lot larger than this but perhaps they dont actively interface with the OFBiz community but rather with their OFBiz integrator or consultant. It would be interesting to survey this group further to gain more insights into their profiles.
...
- Also the fact that there are so many OFBiz integrators and consultants in the market means that
...
- they must think that there is adequate OFBiz business to support them.
Question 2: Which version of OFBiz do you use?
