<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello, I would like launch a second Drupal Administration Survey this week. Here is the first one: <A href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/DisplaySummary.asp?SID=1425065&U=142506581557">http://www.surveymonkey.com/DisplaySummary.asp?SID=1425065&U=142506581557</A><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">I am looking for some volunteers to help re-design the survey and make sure the questions will lead to effective responses. The survey should help the Drupal development community understand Drupal users and the goal and needs of Drupal administrators. I am asking the Drupal development community to <B>help conduct 10 live interviews</B> to help to refine the survey questions and language</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>A couple of notes about the survey:</DIV><DIV>1) Surveys are useful but they are not authoritative. They are frequently more useful than any one person's opinion, but not quite absolute truth.</DIV><DIV>2) Drupal administration involves many activities that are not directly dependent on the Drupal code base, Drupal core features, or the Drupal Administration User Interface. For example, Drupal upgrade documentation, Drupal module categorization, Drupal contributed modules. The survey will run past the Drupal 4.8 code freeze and the results should stand independent of any particular development release or release cycle.</DIV><DIV>3) The survey will be sent to the major mailing lists, and posted on Drupal.org home page for 45 days (August 5th - September 20th).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If you know some user experience professionals who might be able to assist in the design or analysis of the survey and the survey results please contact me.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers,</DIV><DIV>Kieran</DIV><DIV>CivicSpace</DIV></BODY></HTML>
