Koha Foundation Surveys

Hello all,

I am sorry for the delay, I was out of town the past few days.  Per
our meeting on IRC earlier this week
(http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09sep15), I have put
together a survey with some foundation forming questions.

English: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=68645&lang=en
French: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=68645&lang=fr

The survey was created using the open source survey tool - LimeSurvey
- and so it requires that you have JS enabled.  If you don't - you can
use one of these PDF versions to view the questions and just email
your answers.

English: http://opensource.web2learning.net/Koha-English.pdf
French: http://opensource.web2learning.net/Koha-French.pdf

The reason I chose this survey tool was because it would allow for
multiple languages, and it allows for some powerful analytics that I
can then share with everyone - most obviously it's open source :)

Also - you will see that when ranking options you have to rank all
options - so just put the options you don't care about towards the end
of your ranking.

This survey will be active for 2 weeks and then I will put up the
final survey - that gives us two weeks to do our research.

This survey is open to any and all members of the Koha community -
which means anyone with an interest in the future of Koha - whether
they are using the software or active in development or not.

Please feel free to forward these links on and share with others.

Thanks
Nicole C. Engard
Koha Documentation Manager

PS - this goes without saying - but I'll probably get the quesiton
anyway :) all results (raw and compiled) will be shared on the wiki
for all to see.

Any chance we can get SFLC http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/
added to the list of potential umbrella organizations?

Thanks,
Chris

Unfortunately I can't add answers after the survey is made live, but
there is a box for you to add that as an option.

Excellent survey, Nicole.  Thanks!

This probably falls under the same answer you gave Chris, but is there
anyway to expand the poll to include libraries that don't use Koha now
but may be considering a switch within the next, say, 5 years?

Marshall Breeding may already have a list of such libraries.

Thanks,

Ben,

Anyone can answer it - we just won't know that they aren't using Koha
yet :)  Feel free to share this on any and all mailing lists - like I
said (and everyone said in the meeting) anyone with an interest in
Koha - now or in the future - is free to answer the questions -- I
just didn't think ahead of time to ask why they were answering :(
Sorry

Nicole

It appears the poll forces you to rank the existing choices and will
not allow you to place an alternative in the ranking order which
undoubtedly will affect the final results.

Also, what part does this survey play in the formation of the final survey?

Kind Regards,
Chris

I will take all comments into play when creating the final survey.

Chris, you are right, you can't put the alternative into the rank -
that's why I said to put it in the alternative field below the ranking
- then when we do the final survey we'll add other orgs to the list -
this list was based on what was discussed in that chat.

my comment:
I answered, but I think the long list 15? 20? items for the goals of the
Foundations is too hard to fill. I choose 5 or 6 carefully, then, my
ordering means (almost) nothing. Giving a ranking (1-10 for example)
would be easier to fill, and easier to compile results.

I agree and someone on my blog gave me a tip to improve it - so I certainly will change that.
