Mambo Community Survey Underway

Mambo has never before conducted a survey of the Mambo community and users. In 2004, a 3rd party survey was undertaken which provided valuable information for the future development of the software. With the increase in documentation the project is seeing a decrease in the number of people on the forums. This means that the project developers cannot rely on obtaining enough information about what the community wants, from forum discussions alone.

As a result, we have the 2009 Mambo Community Survey.

The survey is comprehensive and will give the Mambo team some really solid information with which to guide the future development of Mambo.
This is your chance to contribute directly to the development of Mambo so please go to the survey now and fill it out at: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pZJVoItOeEp5NTzHJD25eWA

When you have completed the survey, blog about it, email about it, tweet, talk, make a post on your own sites, and generally spread the word. Mambo needs as many people as possible to complete the survey.

Results will be published in aggregate form once the survey has closed. No personal identifying information is collected (although you can give your name if you want). The survey will be open for as long as it takes to get a good representative response from Mambo users.

Spread the word!
