User survey
Draft for now, gathering input.
References:
It's interesting that the Bugzilla survey was aimed at a small number of organisations using MantisBT, rather than its direct users. Something to consider for us as well - perhaps by having two different surveys - organisations versus end-users.
Platform
Most of these apply to administrator users only.
- What Operating System do you run MantisBT on?
- What Database server do you run MantisBT on?
- What Web server do you run MantisBT on?
- Which PHP version do you use?
- How many active users are there in your MantisBT instance?
- How many bugs do you have in your MantisBT instance?
- What plugins do you have installed in your MantisBT instance?
- Do you run MantisBT on your own server or on a hosted instance?
Demographics
- Age
- Country
- How do you currently use MantisBT
- User ( I interact with MantisBT's web interface )
- System administrator ( I administer the server running the application )
- Developer ( I contribute code to MantisBT or MantisBT plugins )
Current status
- Do you currently use MantisBT?
- If not, why not and which tools are you using now?
- Which version of MantisBT are you running?
- How would you rank MantisBT in terms of {usability, performance, look and feel,documentation}?
- Which of the following features do you use and how often ( matrix - rows are features, columns are numbered 1-5, were 5 means most often)?
- Roadmap page
- Changelog page
- Notifications
- etc ( we really need a good selection here )
Future
- What would be the things that you would change or improve substantially in MantisBT?
- we might consider having some initial options here and also a large free text field ( should restrict checkboxes to 3 )
- Better look and feel
- Keyboard shortcuts for navigation and other common actions
- Extended reporting capabilities
- Ability to download and install plugins from the administration interface
- Better performance
- Better support for other database engines ( which ? )
- Ability to vote for issues
- Ability to preview attachments inline ( videos, images )
- Wysiwyg (or alternative structured text like Markdown ) editor
- Diff-style email notifications
- How important is it to you that MantisBT continues to function without the need to enable Javascript?
- Would you continue using future version of MantisBT if it would work only on modern versions of Browsers ( e.g. IE 9+, Latest Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera? )
Contributions
- Have you ever tried to contribute to MantisBT? - If yes, were you successful? - If no, why - lack of {skill,time,interest} - barrier of contribution to high {missing documentation, code hard to understand, no support from developers}
