Hybrid Theme Version 0.7 Survey Results
These are the results of the Hybrid version 0.7 survey. This survey was conducted to better understand the mindset of people using the Hybrid theme.
This survey is not representative of all opinions and discussions surrounding version 0.7. It was mostly meant to engage users that have not been taking part in other discussions. A particular feature garnering the most votes does not necessarily mean that it will be added to Hybrid. Best design and development practices will always be held to the highest standard, even if that means forgoing a particular feature.
- Survey opened on July 22, 2009.
- Survey closed on August 17, 2009.
- Some questions asked for direct user input and cannot be properly represented by anything other than the number of people that answered.
- Responses that appeared to not answer the survey correctly and honestly (e.g., checking every option, answering all questions the same, adding opinions not related to the Hybrid theme) were dropped from these results.
- Less than 2% of people that took the survey didn't complete it.
