The survey is now "live". I saved the original responses separately, but some questions have been added or changed, so please respond again if you are willing. Thanks again for everyone's help and feedback in constructing the questions and I look forward to sharing the results. On Saturday, May

It's an amazing idea. Thanks for putting it up, Aymeric and Tim! Can we add a question regarding usage of test frameworks (i.e., unittest2, py.test, nose) similar to "Which popular third-party apps do you rely on?" For example "Which test frameworks do you use?" - "unittest2, py.test, nose, oth

Hi, Mark, I tend to do the same. Your proposed split of that question makes sense to me. Maybe a bit onto the details, but the last question about leaving an email adres ("If you'd like to enter your name and email address so we can follow-up if we have any questions about your responses. Please

I think the survey is a great idea. Following on from Shai's question "one big project, or many small ones?"... I am the latter, so the "which version" doesn't really work for me even with multiple answers allowed. I tend to: . Start each new project with the latest stable version. . Upgrade

The idea of the release schedule question is to form consensus on the options that have already been proposed in the "1.9 release planning " thread. If you have a different idea, please propose it there. On Sunday, Apri

I like the idea of an survey, but find the release question with only 3 options quite limited, how about to allow there to put own numbers instead of giving fixed answers or at least an other field? Am 25.04.2015 14:29, schrieb Tim Graham: Aymeric and I put together a draft: https://docs.goog

Hi, "How often would you like to see new major version of Django released?" currently lists three options, which are close to one another. I would like to have: 12 months, as well as an open option. Is it an idea to add those? Detailed release schedules are not necessary, in my opinion. "I foll

I would suggest IRC and/or Github should be options on the "I follow Django development" question. I'd also suggest we ask a couple of open ended questions along the line of "What's your favourite thing about Django" and "What's your least favourite thing about Django". I've found interesting resp

Great idea. The questions look good enough to me. I love django-apps or libraries shipped in python packages. One of the reason I love Django is the fact that it didn't frenetically add stuff to the framework just because it's cool. The good thing of python packages is that you can get some data

That's a great idea! Like all Internet polls the results may be biased by the population who answers. We may not get answers from the least active parts of the community. However it would give us /some/ data instead of opinions. I'm happy to contribute to defining the questions. -- Aymeric.

I had an idea to conduct a survey to get a sense of how developers are using Django. I first had the idea when the question of maintenance of the Oracle GIS backend came up. We really have no idea whether or not anyone is actually using that backend, and it would be helpful to know so we are not
