Web Platform Doc Sprint Survey

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Just one more little exercise in today's doc sprint! Please help us improve these events by answering the following questions. There are 36 questions, and it should take a minimum of 10 minutes to answer them all.

The information gathered in this survey will be aggregated and measured statistically. None of the answers you supply will be attributed to your user ID or otherwise used to identify you publicly. (See http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Privacy.) We may want to follow-up with you later, however, and we can if you give us your WPD user ID. We'll even bring lunch.

Thanks for your help!
