This sounds like an excellent addition to our already excellent GSoC efforts! Separately, are we allowed to (by GSoC rules), and would it be practical, to do a short survey for exiting GSoC *students*, or even for last year's students? Along with capturing some data, it feels like it would be a good way for the ASF to try to maintain a relationship with the student (if they want to; if they ignore us that's fine too). > > Cheers, > > Uli > > *DRAFT* > > Please specify the name of the student you mentored (free text) Why don't we ask for Apache ID?

(free text) For several questions: Should we try to capture somewhat structured data, instead of boolean/free text? I'd suggest the "success" use Likert scale or some similar degree question instead of boolean. "Why or why not?" could be two questions: a "type" and then a free text: - Why was this valuable? -- Added new module/functionality to your project -- Added useful new code to your project -- Spurred useful discussion about new code -- Added useful documentation, tests, or other things -- Created proof of concept that helped move project forward ...Or some general areas that might be helpful. > Do you feel your time spent was worth it?

(free text) Thanks, excellent way to structure the survey. - Shane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
