How would you describe yourself as a Drupal administrator? (pick the best one)
It would be nice if each self identified administrative group filled out its own survey (same questions - just seperate surveys) - so that at the end apples could be compared with apples.
SurveyMonkey allows this level of filtering. We are adding 4 additional questions to the survey to learn more about administrators.
It may be helpful to define some of these: e.g. Personal Blog (example.com) - you are the primary author and administrator of all content on your site - users may register to post comments, but do not gain other privileges by signing up. Community Site (example.drupal.org) - you are one of many authors and administrators - etc. etc. etc.
Ok, but we are adding a lot of questions about the users and I want to keep it short and focuses to increase the participation rates on the whole survey and each question high.
The list of 'most common' and 'least common' should be the same list. This question is leading and makes assumptions. Items in the least common list may turn out to be common or items in the common list may turn out to be uncommon.
While that makes logical sense that least common and most common lists are mirrored lists, we got these responses from user interviews. So I am sure there is someone with a dissertation in statistics or audience research under there belt who can weigh in on whether it's better to use actual responses versus logically consistent responses.
When administering your site rate the ease with which you accomplish the following:
Consider a 4 or 6 level scale to help avoid wishy washy responses (challenge people to decide if they really think its easy or hard - no middle answer): 6)very easy, 5)easy, 4)somewhat easy, 3)somewhat difficult, 2) difficult, 1)very difficult.
Ok. I'll check with a couple people about the downside of neutral responses.
Break apart questions the cover broad areas. e.g. > 1-5 Manage large groups or users, nodes, menu items, comments, blocks Consider defining 'large'. manage large numbers of user roles (10+) manage large numbers of users (100+) manage large numbers of nodes (1000+) manage large menus (75+ items) manage large number of comments (average of 3+ per node)
I like the numbers, they help give perspective.
I'm not sure what this question hopes to measure.
It gives the survey taker an opportunity to let us know what they consider important. For example, in the survey results last time we learned that internationalization, and mail management were important but didn't really get much consideration in the previous categories. In the live interviews, I find that the most interesting information comes when you ask people what is important to them. You can review the last question of the survey responses to see for yourself. http://groups.drupal.org/usability Thanks for you responses. Kieran
