Surveys galore - be they official or not
Surveys galore! There are now official Mozilla surveys available for all to do. The first one talks about your views on Mozilla and the community.
Psst... If you don't mind doing a Thunderbird-specific one that I myself wrote up at the end-Oct 07, you can still do so by the way. But while mine's not official, (and probably not done up as well since it's a one-man operation) there will still be results coming up, along with an analysis done up by me. --not so soon though; my next week at university is packed!
Btw, the number of complete responses has rose past 625. And oh, the survey I did up, was just for fun; it does not help me in any of my homework now at all, be they projects or papers, none whatsoever. :-(
Edit: The survey has been closed as of ~1pm UTC on 18 Nov 07. It has ~689 complete responses, and exactly 1,000 if partial ones are included.

Hi Gary,
Just to mention that we will probably have surveys about Thunderbird too in the future on surveys.mozilla-europe.org :)
The main advantages of our survey system is that it is generic, extendible, localizable (currently in 10+ languages) and that we will progressively build statistical analysis tools on the backend to analyse the results. This project was also mostly a one-man work by Stanislaw Malolepsy, Mozilla Europe summer intern and long time contributor from the mozilla Polish community ;)

pascalc: That's great to hear! The official Mozilla system will be much better equipped for massive numbers of responses. Please don't forget the occasional survey for community-driven programs though, such as Calendar, SeaMonkey and Camino.
So I'll be guessing that my effort will be the first and last, now that Mozilla will begin to take over this. :) Though there's no stopping others from doing so, but I personally am quite reluctant to duplicate efforts.
Great work on the localizing of the surveys; it was a barrier I personally was unable to overcome, though I am not an intern, and I don't have access to all the resources required.

Bubblesort considered painful. :)
