Survey Says...
One of the interesting, and sometimes disquieting, things about doing an open source project is that you don't know if the work you are doing is being watched by anyone, or that you are doing the kinds of things that those who might be watching are interested in seeing done. It's sort of like blogging in that way.
To try to get some sense of what, if anything, the community would like us to do (now, be nice), we (the Darkstar team) have put together a survey. It is short-- just five questions, mostly multiple choice. So if you have a chance, head on over and take the survey. We promise to at least read all of the responses, and it will help us to know what the community thinks of what we are doing...
+1 on surveys. And +1 on SurveyMonkey. I recently went ahead and got an account and will start regularly posting surveys to get feedback from the community.
"Self-Publishing" (wikis/blogs/tweets/surveymonkey) rules!

Hi, I did complete the survey some weeks ago.
Any plans on publicizing the results, or will you wait some more time, or just keep the results for internal use? I'm a bit curious myself about the shape of the Darkstar userbase.
Keep up the good work.

We have posted the results, but not in this blog-- Karl Haberl (the boss) posted them to the project blog, http://blogs.sun.com/projectdarkstar/ . Take a look, some of the answers are pretty interesting...
