Thank you for this survey, Ivan. One minor note: http://call-cc.org/survey/2011/HowLongHaveYouBeenUsingChicken.png seems to be missing.

Re: [Chicken-users] Results of the Chicken survey
Hi Christian, To generate the HTML form for the survey, I used the ssax, sxml-transforms, and html-form libraries. The SXML template and script to generate the HTML are now in the chicken-infrastructure repository. To process the mbox with emails sent from the survey form, and generate CSV files with survey data, I used the formular and csv libraries. The script that generated aggregate survey data is also in the infrastructure repository. As for the charts, unfortunately I had to create those semi-manually, using LibreOffice Calc and Draw. A good data plotting library for Chicken would be a most welcome addition :-) As for your comments on the survey itself, you raise good points. I added the name and email fields as a way to filter out potential spammers. But since I did not get any spam submissions during the month the survey was open, I think we can do without those fields in the future. You are right that I should have sent a reminder email, but I was quite busy the past two months, and forgot to do this. Now that the basic survey infrastructure has been created, making new surveys will be less time consuming, so hopefully we'll be able to focus on publicity :-) -Ivan Christian Kellermann writes: > Hi Ivan, > > * Ivan Raikov [110825 04:25]: >> Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions on how to >> improve the survey.

Thanks, Thanks for going through all the hassle to get it up and running and for putting the results into the wiki. Apart from the results I wanted to know how you did the graphs and the form. As I gathered they were done by eggs of yours? Could you elaborate on that a bit? Now that the survey is over I also want to add some feedback of mine: * There were lots of mandatory questions, including "personal" details. Some people on reddit for example posted that this has put them off from taking part. It did not put me off but maybe that is a thing to reconsider next time. * We did not advertise this survey much, although I doubt it would have drawn thousands of people to the site :) But maybe we could have a reminder posting near the end of the voting period. Thanks Ivan, for this nice survey. It sure is interesting and I enjoyed it. Kind regards, Christian -- Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)? Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear.

Thanks for doing this survey Ivan, it is very informative and interesting. >From the survey comments: "There's usually no Windows version available. :(" For anyone who happened to miss one of the announcements on the chicken-users list, please note that I try to keep a minimal-effort-to-install windows binary package and installer for chicken at: http://www.kiatoa.com/cgi-bin/chicken-iup Do let me know if it doesn't work for you.
