Greetings, I am sending this email as a representative of the Hackystat Project <http://www.hackystat.org/> to request your involvement in prioritizing future development activities by responding to the following survey. It consists of five questions and will take most people only five to 10 minutes to complete. You can reply to this email and indicate your responses in any way you wish, and you can answer only a subset of the questions if you prefer. Feel free to forward this email to any other people you think might be interested in influencing future development. Your reply will be confidential. Aggregate, anonymous summaries of the data will be used to help prioritize future development activities.

Your usage class (indicate all that apply): * User (I collect and analyze project data) * Administrator (I download, install, and maintain a hackystat server) * Developer (I design and implement sensors, sensor data types, analyses, etc.) * Other (please explain) 2. Your current barriers to use.
