Hi Everyone
A big thank you to everyone that completed the OFBiz Documentation Survey.
In total we had 76 responses. I’m still collating the details as not
everyone responded to all the questions but wanted to provide you with some
draft highlights below:
*Type of Respondents*
• 78% install or implement OFBiz for other businesses (To me this means that
the majority are OFBiz integrators or implementers)
• 41% use OFBiz to run their business
• 31% consult ERP or recommend OFBiz to clients (A few respondents chose
this as well as the first option so - again integrators and implementers)
• 12% are in the process of evaluating OFBiz for use in their company (I
think this shows our potential new users and it might be good to capture
some further information from this group).
NOTE: This question allowed multiple answers.
*OFBiz Version*
• 28% are running the Trunk
• 35% are running 13.07
• 25% are running 12.04
• 8% are running 11.04
• 2.5% are running 10.04 or earlier
*How Long Running OFBiz*
• 9.5 % less than 12 months (An indication of new OFBiz users)
• 31% 1 – 2 years
• 18.5% 2-5 yeas
• 39% Over 5 years
NOTE: This wasn’t applicable in some cases because they were evaluating
*Community Involvement*
• 21% were already officially involved (e.g. committers, PMC etc)
• 29% would like to get more involved (I am really glad to see this as I
know there is an ongoing discussion on the health of the community. It’s
good to see that there are people out there willing and waiting to
contribute to the project.)
• 40% ask questions or read the mailing lists
• 8% respond to questions
• 2 % don’t think there is any community
The questions about people’s opinion of the documentation will take a bit
more collating so will post the details when I’ve done that but its good to
see that over 97% of the respondents use the Wiki to look for information!
Thanks
