The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Survey of W3C Community and Business Groups' (public) for Jason Grigsby. --------------------------------- Overall Experience ---- Please rate your overall experience according to the following aspects: * Your overall experience with Community Groups and Business Groups.: [ 2 ++ ] * Have you found the Community Groups and Business Groups documentation adequate (FAQ, policy summaries, etc.)?: [ 3 +++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): The community groups infrastructure is an odd mix. There are multiple mailing lists, but when we started, no one used the mailing list. There is a blog, but you don’t get notifications when someone adds a comment to the blog. Sometimes I would have to log in via http basic auth. Other times everything worked with cookies. Basically, it seems like a bunch of tools that a very loosely coupled which makes the experience difficult. --------------------------------- 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): This is a tough one because I’ve never tried to look for other groups. I decided to go with no because of the fact that when I’m in the RiCG or CoreMob, I don’t have much sense of things going on in other groups. I’ve found out about groups because of Twitter, not because of any facilities provided by the site. --------------------------------- 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): It really wasn’t clear to us what we were supposed to be doing. And because the work we were doing on images required browser vendor feedback, it felt like a lot of work we were doing was pointless. --------------------------------- 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): A bit, but again, we were creating things in a vacuum without any sense of what we might need to do to shepherd our needs through the standards process. --------------------------------- 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). * (x) Yes * ( ) No * ( ) In discussion but not decided * ( ) No idea Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): The adaptive images spec is at the W3C. --------------------------------- 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): [ 2 ++ ] * 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 * (x) I joined as a non-W3C Member employee, after getting my organization's patent and copyright commitment * ( ) 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: [ No opinion ] * Clarity of the process by which people express support for a group: [ No opinion ] 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): [ No opinion ] * 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): --------------------------------- 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: --------------------------------- 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.
