Question 1: How would you describe yourself as a Drupal.org user?
Experienced ;-)
Question 2: How often do you visit Drupal.org?
at least once a day, often several times
Question 3: When you visit Drupal.org, how long do you spend on the site?
from ~30 sec (check for issue updates) to an hour or more if I'm
helping in the forum, browsing modules or the handbook, etc.
Question 4: What would you describe as your goals for visiting Drupal.org ?
The majority of the time I'm look to see if there have been follow-up
posts to forum topics I've commented on, or issue I'm involved with.
Often I'm looking to use the site as a development tool. I also enjoy
when I can answer a problem in the form and when I get postive
feedback that my answer solved the user's problem.
Question 5. What is easy to do on Drupal.org?
Creating content, posting comments.
Question 6. What is hard to do on Drupal.org?
Site speed has been a real problem recently.
I often find it very difficult to find an old issue node hat i recall
reading- even when using the advanced search features of project
module. There seem to be some odd quirks in the project module
search.
It can be frustrating at times that the main track and issue tracker
is separate. however- since the main site tracker has been performing
so badly recently (want to review this patch:
http://drupal.org/node/105639 ?), it may be better this way.
Finding the good modules, though I know there is a SoC project that should help.
Helping maintain the handbook is really problematic- I'm on the docs
list. I think at some point there needs to be a new approach - maybe
defining a core set of pages/tutorials that are replicated, tagged,
and updated for each new Drupal version. Something sort of between
the current handbooks and the api site. I realize that for some using
CVS to update the api docs is hard, so I would think these pages need
to be nodes that can be edited normally.
Last question: Is there anything else important about Drupal.org that we
haven't discussed?
Obviously, I use api.drupal.org and groups.drupal.org too.
