The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Survey of W3C Community and Business Groups' (public) for Peter Rushforth. --------------------------------- Overall Experience ---- Please rate your overall experience according to the following aspects: * Your overall experience with Community Groups and Business Groups.: [ 4 ++++ ] * Have you found the Community Groups and Business Groups documentation adequate (FAQ, policy summaries, etc.)?: [ 3 +++ ] 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? * (x) Yes * ( ) 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): --------------------------------- 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): Consensus seems to be the way that decisions are made; the evaluation of consensus is informal, and is based on who speaks up. I have no problem with that. Is there some recommended way/tool that the w3c encourages decision making? --------------------------------- 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): Yes. --------------------------------- 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 * ( ) No * (x) In discussion but not decided * ( ) No idea Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): It will take leadership and work to get to that point, but yes, I would hope we can get a WG eventually for a practical reformulation of XML hypermedia. IMHO, XML on the web has got one hand tied behind its back because of the XLink legacy, which is too complicated by half to be useful. That said, what constitutes 'simple' is open to debate. That, and maybe XML on the web is no longer a goal of XML. But for those of us still willing to work with XML on the web, that would be a disappointment. --------------------------------- 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: [ No opinion ] * Other parts of the Community and Business Group Web site.: [ No opinion ] 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): [ 4 ++++ ] * 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: [ 5 +++++ (highest) ] * Clarity of the process by which people express support for a group: [ 5 +++++ (highest) ] 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): [ 3 +++ ] * Publishing a draft specification (available to Chairs only): [ No opinion ] * 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): The process for choosing a chair was not well described, perhaps intentionally. --------------------------------- 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: Seems like a pretty decent initiative. --------------------------------- 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.
