https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Survey+Results+2025+August --- The following results were compiled from a Survey conducted 19th to 28th August 2025. To reach a broad audience, I posted to the Mifos slack channels (#general, #fineract) and to the listserv multiple times. ( ) Generally the project is seen as positive, with 75% agreeing with "Yes, Positive". A plurality of the respondents noted that they were on a fork of the project, or not contributing upstream. This is striking because only those who are monitoring channels and the listserv were responding, a strong bias toward involved participants. Respondents came from all over the world, highly distributed globally, with a strong showing from the African continent and the Americas. To questions about security, there was some support for getting fixes but less awareness of the CVE process. To a question about whether a new Fineract front end UI (in lieu of the well known Mifos UI) would be used and welcomed, nearly 80% agreed with yes or it would depend on how good it was. Getting paid and making the project easier to build are two of the highest priorities for devs. Motivations for being involved included 'commercial reasons' - this tracks with roughly 20% of those paid to work on the project - but also scoring high were 'Poverty Reduction', 'Technology Challenge', and 'Self-Improvement', and 37% reported being involved for non-monetary reasons. see more at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Survey+Results+2025+August
