  2. Community survey results analysis
    • Summary by Diego:
      • Target market is well defined so far. Main community is composed by Implementors and developers
      • "I enjoy the open source community associated with iDempiere." - which means the openness of the project is indeed the strongest of the added value
      • Self installation is the top - the project would benefit greatly by easing this task (Already discussed)
      • A lot of core customizations apparently, many people not upgrading/installing the latest iDempiere version (already discussed)
      • The new community members are not so visible, most of the people have been in the project for at least 2 years, this might be because of the steep learning curve.
      • Libero Manufacturing and Kanban Board are the top two used/wanted plugins. Libero Manufacturing has now an ongoing effort to be improved led by Deepak.
      • Biggest implementations: 242 Users in average. 37.5 Median
      • Many one user implementations, which means the image of the project being too big for small companies might be wrong and could be improved.
      • "Which Localization(s) do you use?" -> Many answers of localizations that are not published in the wiki, interesting to know why and if they're open.
      • If your iDempiere has integration with other systems. Which ones? -> Many people has integrations with other systems, the list is quite long, I find this good because it means iDempiere can be integrated with almost any other software. I would try to encourage the community to share examples, code, case studies of those integrations.
      • Developers and Business Owners (probably from implementation companies based on question #1) are the top two job levels, we can focus on our messages to communicate directly to them.
      • Top answer to find out about iDempiere was internet, quite interesting considering the low level of SEO the project has up to now. If we push this further, could be quite beneficial.
      • Top choice for "How did you educate yourself in iDempiere?" is through project documentation, this means, it is quite important to improve that area.
      • Top answer to "Do you contribute to the open source iDempiere project?" was "No, but I want to ". There's many people in the community eager to contribute, potential makers, we can find new ways to bring them to the project, new ways to contribbute, easiness of contribution, etc ...
    • Suggestions to improve iDempiere for small size companies:
      • a) Communicate that iDempiere is not too big for small sized companies.
      • b) Work on improving documentation
      • c) add Templates to the system
