John, Russ, Instead of a survey sent out to member firms and FIX product vendors, I was thinking about an online survey sent out to all email ids (FIX users) registered in http://FIXProtocol.org Google search of "Online surveys" gave tooo many results http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=online+surveys This could include additional questions like Q1. Select options below which best describe your involvement with FIXProtocol [] Student [] Programmer [] Business analyst [] QA analyst / Tester [] Project manager [] CIO / CTO or higher positions [] Recruiter / Interviewer Q2. How long have you been involved with FIX [] less than 1 year [] 1 to 5 years [] more than 5 years Q3. How would you rate your knowledge of FIXProtocol on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being beginner and 10 being expert) Online surveys can be very dynamic by permitting additional questions be be asked based on responses, for example people who select FIXT.1.1 as an option to either of the below questions Q1. Which versions of FIX do you support (select all that apply) {list all versions here} Q7. If you answered yes to Q6 which version(s) are you planning to support(select all that apply) {list all versions here} could be given additional questions Q8. Describe in your own words what do you like most about FIXT.1.1 Q9. Describe in your own words what do you not like about FIXT.1.1 These questions would present text boxes for response. After the survey is closed, FPL could publish these responses as anonymous without showing any personal identification information like name or email id etc. Q10. How would you rate complexity of FIXT.1.1 on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being not at all complex and 10 being very complex) Q11. Is FIXT.1.1 being used to transport non FIX data ? Since the results / statistics released after the survey would not include any personal information (name / email id etc) of the respondents, I would expect most people would give true / near true answers. Now the big question is how to attract most registered used of this website to participate. Offer couple of prizes which would be selected by lottery (has no relation to responses) from list of all people who participated in the survey. Regards, K.
