GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 609855
Install Lime Survey for Marketing team
Last modified: 2010-09-21 20:43:57 UTC
Lime Survey (http://www.limesurvey.org/) is a FOSS survey application. Behdad currently has one hosted in his personal space on gnome.org
I had to make a few modifications to get it going with our PHP installation (faked php mb module) and developed a GNOME theme. I suggest just moving my installation to a better place.
Updating based on a conversation with Jeff Schroeder. We need to determine what VMs we want to use for this, whether it should be the VM we're using for Gobby or the Snowy VM as a more general webservices VM. Personally, I'd prefer to keep the Snowy VM with only Snowy in case Tomboy Online takes off next year.
What's the current status of this? (GNOME Asia just installed their own instance. I would have liked to have been able to offer them access to a general GNOME one.)
My vote would be to put this on the gobby VM. I'm sure both of these services will remain pretty minimal, whereas the snowy service could become a very busy one. If there aren't any major concerns to the contrary, I'll start work on getting this done.
I agree that Lime Survey will not be a high volume service. We currently use the Lime Survey software a couple of times a year and plan to use it after every hackfest as well. Most surveys will have 10-20 respondents with perhaps a couple having 300-500.
contacted behdad re: moving his themed installation onto our server (gobby).
I've got a new vhost setup with the latest limesurvey installed. @Stormy - please let me know who should initially have accounts and I will email login information to those users.
I have generated Admin accounts for Stormy and Behdad. Credentials have been sent separately. Still working on getting the theming setup properly with Behdad, but otherwise the service is now available at http://survey.gnome.org/ PENDING: SSL (will conflict with the board-only gobby instance)
The footer says 1.72, is this correct? Latest version is 1.90, and PHP applications (and web applications in general)l being what they are, I'd expect security fixes in between (but I didn't check). As a side note the footer also says Copyright © 2009, should it be updated to 2010?
Those are both specific to the theme that Behdad put in place. It is using the latest installation, but the theme had hard-coded the version and Copyright into the footer. My vote is to remove the mention of the version, and update the copyright accordingly.
I totally agree with this resolution; great!
