[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Community Survey

[Ben Shum]

Hi Rogan,

I'm curious what the Evergreen Outreach Committee has discussed
regarding how this data is to be used.  Given that the linked survey
appears to be very user focused at the moment, i.e. most if not all
the questions are geared with the mindset that it applies to library
institutions or groups who use Evergreen.  But what about the rest of
the community?

I wonder if it would be helpful to clarify the intent of this survey
as targeting the Evergreen Community's users?  And whether there would
be separate surveys or approaches used similarly to gauge (and maybe
identify) other aspects of our community.  Off the top of my head, I
would like to see representation in any final picture of our community
to include also developers, individuals and companies alike, along
with the various support organizations that participate in Evergreen's
deployment and ongoing maintenance.  Documentation, translation, etc.?

Just what I was thinking.

Regards,

-- Ben
