Interesting results!  Thank you for this survey, Ivan.

One minor note:

seems to be missing.

Re: [Chicken-users] Results of the Chicken survey

2011-08-25 Thread Ivan Raikov

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
:-)

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

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. I tend not to pay attention
to it until I need it and that is not often.

Cheers,

Matt
