The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Survey of W3C Community and Business Groups' (public) for Florent Georges. --------------------------------- Overall Experience ---- Please rate your overall experience according to the following aspects: * Your overall experience with Community Groups and Business Groups.: [ 3 +++ ] * Have you found the Community Groups and Business Groups documentation adequate (FAQ, policy summaries, etc.)?: [ 2 ++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Work Flow ---- Questions 4 through 9 focus on work flow. --------------------------------- Discovery ---- Did you find it easy to discover groups of interest to you? * ( ) Yes * (x) No If not, why? (or any other comments): --------------------------------- Group Type Comparison ---- If you have experience in both Working Group and Community or Business Group, what advantages do you see for Working Groups? for Community or Business Groups? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): WGs have more support (both from within W3C and from the wild wild world). CGs have a more dedicated platform, so it is easier to make quicker decisions and administration tasks. --------------------------------- Decision-making ---- How is your Community or Business Group organized to make decisions? Have you reached decisions on challenging problems? We'd love to hear your successes or obstacles you've faced. Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): It is based on consensus (possible as there is not a lot of people, and the work has been cut down into smaller pieces). --------------------------------- Ensuring Progress ---- Are you satisfied with how the Community or Business Group makes progress? What would enable you to make better progress? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): This is quite slow. Probably an edition tool for specs would be nice (we have several editors for several specs at EXPath and I spend quite some time explaining how to do it). That would for instance allow automatic diff specs. It would be nice to have an issue tracking system (a bit more appealing than Bugzilla, btw). --------------------------------- Transition to Working Group ---- Do you expect to advance Community or Business Group deliverables to a W3C Working Group? Please use the comment field for any information about the transition (time frame, perceived obstacles or challenges). * ( ) Yes * (x) No * ( ) In discussion but not decided * ( ) No idea Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): By nature, this is more both an incubator for new ideas for XSLT and XQuery WGs, and a place to define extensions that are beyond the scope of those WGs. --------------------------------- Process, Patent and Copyright Policy, Contribution Agreements ---- Do you have any suggestions for changes to the Community Groups and Business Groups process, Contributor Agreement, or Final Specification Agreement that would facilitate participation? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Overall User Interface ---- Please rate the usability of the following aspects: * The home page of your Community or Business Group: [ 3 +++ ] * Other parts of the Community and Business Group Web site.: [ 3 +++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- User Accounts ---- Please rate the usability of any of the following actions you carried out. * Requesting an account (if you did so just for Community Groups and Business Groups): [ No opinion ] * Updating your affiliation in your account (if you were asked to do so): [ No opinion ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Joining a Group ---- Please, select the case that applies to you and comment on your experience joining a group (via the click-through form). * ( ) I joined as a W3C Member employee, my request was processed by my organization's Advisory Committee Representative * ( ) I joined as a non-W3C Member employee, after getting my organization's patent and copyright commitment * (x) I joined as an individual, unaffiliated with any organization Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Creating a Group ---- If you created a group, rate the usability of the following aspects: * Clarity of the process for proposing a group: [ 3 +++ ] * Clarity of the process by which people express support for a group: [ 2 ++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Group Operations ---- Rate the usability of any of the following operations you have carried out. * Choosing a chair (via checkboxes on the participants page): [ 5 +++++ (highest) ] * Publishing a draft specification (available to Chairs only): [ 3 +++ ] * Publishing a final specification (available to Chairs only): [ No opinion ] * Making a final specification commitment (through the click-through form): [ No opinion ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): We don't have final spec yet. Publishing a draft is not very clear, in particular the fact that what is published is only a link pointing to the report hosted somewhere else. --------------------------------- Suggestion Box ---- What can we do to improve the experience of participating in a Community Group or Business Group, tools you would find useful, or changes to enable you to work more effectively? Feedback: The simplest improvement would be to have an issue tracking system (more 3d millennium than Bugzilla). The second one would be to have more support for spec edition (saving editor drafts in a source control system, like Git, than flagging one as a public draft, or as a final spec 1.0, or 1.1, or 2.0). Maybe publishing automatically diff versions of specs. --------------------------------- Testimonial ---- To help W3C spread the word about Community and Business Groups, we invite you to provide a 1-paragraph testimonial about your Community Group or Business Group experience that you authorize us to publicize. This is purely optional.
