After analyzing the results, out of 50 people, only 23 plan to move to WiTango 6. 46%. - 42 people are using WiTango 5.5 (84%) - 1 person is using WiTango 6 beta (2%) - 13 people do 100% of their development in WiTango (26%) - 6 people only use it for 10% of their projects (12%) - 6 people either don't program in WiTango or chose other, and those responses aren't for new projects. (12%)
Since the first 50 responses have been given fairly quickly, these are the most active WiTango people. The percentages therefore are fairly accurate. What does this mean for the future of WiTango? What message is being sent to WiTango? We need updates, news, information, marketing efforts, and support.

Congratulations everyone. http://freeonlinesurveys.com/viewresults.asp?c=x4jovb5l0cv4h6y469661 Note, I think the survey system only lets you see the first 50 responses. For more you have to buy a monthly subscription. An observation that I think is interesting, is that the number of people coding on a particular platform for their Editor/Studio does not directly match the Server platform they deploy to. As well, the majority of choice for an alternate technology platform (Linux) also do not match the platform most considered stable for Witango (Windows). I think what that says is that Witango programmers are less concerned about the Operating System they use, and more interested in stability and options. Personally I think that's a great attribute for a good programmer or service provider - by focusing on the solution and not letting yourself get hung up on the logistics. Of course, some might say the same should be said about our choice of programming languages too. Also, I see the interest in Java based options (both current and as an alternate technology) being very low - yet, a lot of people are planning to move to version 6 which is apparently java-based. Does that mean we trust Java more as an application platform than as a coding environment? Just curious. In hindsight I know I could have worded things a little differently, but mostly I wish I had added another option for Question 10 (What do you use or see as a workable transition platform?) as "Not interested in moving away from Witango". But for being a spur of the moment thing, I think it all worked out pretty well. Thank you. Take care.
