Hello,
I am a master’s student in the School of Information and Library Science at UNC. I am doing my master’s paper research on Drupal project success factors and perceptions. If you have been a stakeholder in a Drupal project, please consider taking this survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/230306/drupal-success-factors-survey
Please contact me at mthomas8 at gmail.com if you have any questions about the research. Please feel free to repost/forward this message to other Drupal users and usergroups.
Thank you,
Matt Thomas

Hi Matt, I'm looking at your
Hi Matt,
I'm looking at your survey now and there are a few points you might consider:
Question 1: missing an option for people who have directly contributed code, documentation, or support back to the Drupal community.
Question 4: Modifying existing modules, does this mean writing custom module code that interacts with other modules via the standard API (should fall under creating new modules for the site) or hacking up existing contributed modules (which is pretty bogus)?
Question 5: node count isn't a viable unit of measurement for the size of a site, here's why: if you're counting nodes NATO's website might weigh in at a few hundred? Maybe a thousand? By comparison any local church website with active forums will easilly break 10k given time. Likewise number of modules installed can be deceptive as this can relate to either the complexity of the feature set OR the site administrator/developer's relative lack of experience with the CMS (module bloat is a classic n00b error).
