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 wasting resources on unused features. Also there's the question of how often to release Django. I think it would be nice to make that decision based on some data from the community.
Is anyone is interested in coordinating such a survey (collating questions, preparing the online survey, etc.). Some question ideas to get started: Which database backend(s) do you use? [ ] Checkbox for each one Which contrib apps do you use? [ ] Checkbox for each one How often would you like to see new major version of Django released? [ ] List some options, probably between 6 and 9 months. Describe which version of Django you use (check all the apply): [ ] I only use long-term support releases. [ ] I upgrade to the latest stable version as quickly as possible. [ ] I run off of master. [ ] I upgrade Django when the version I am using is nearing the end of its support (or after). [ ] I don't bother upgrading Django, even if it becomes unsupported. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
