Hi, Thanks for the reply. My proposal for the end date is January 31. This is also the date I mention in the survey. I would summarize the results at the beginning of February. I can also do intermediary summaries before that, but it would be nice to run the survey for at least a month and a half (half December + full January), as the holidays are approaching. WDYT?

Hi devs,
In 2009 and 2012 the xwiki.org project launched some surveys about features to have in XWiki in priority: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2009 (results at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/FeatureStatus20120119 ) http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2012 (results at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/FeatureSurveyResult201204 )
I thought it would be nice to launch a similar survey in 2013 in order to give the project some information to prepare the XWiki 6.x roadmap. I took 2012's survey content as a model and created a new version for 2013: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2013
Sounds like a good idea :)
The results of the survey would be published on xwiki.org and shared with the committers list. I built the form using Google Docs, since they offer a nice free solution. However there's a limitation when it comes to sending notifications for the form. A Google account would be needed for the committers@ list in order to be able to send notifications to it each time the form is filled in. Is it possible for such an account to be created? Alternatively, I can send a detailed summary to the list when the survey comes to an end (beginning of February), since I will be working on a summary for xwiki.org.
I don’t have a strong opinion on this. Obviously it would be better if the results were sent to the committers list IMO. However creating some account for the XWiki Committers would be a maintenance headache.
So I guess I’d be more in favor of letting you gather the results and posting the full results on a blog post on xwiki.org when the survey closes.
BTW what would be duration of the survey? We need some end date.
Thanks -Vincent
Please let me know if you're OK with sending the survey to the users list and if so, which alternative you prefer for the notifications/update on the results. If the response is positive I'll send the survey on the users list.
Thanks, Silvia
