Hi All,

Inspired by this thread [1], I think it's time we try to formulate some 
application developer oriented questions for the user survey. Having this 
information will help us guide OpenStack developers, SDK developers, and other 
tool developers.

Sean Dague already proposed the following 3 questions. I've added some more 
answers to the first to flesh it out. I replaced the work toolkit with code in 
questions 2 and 3.

1. What toolkits do you use to interface with the OpenStack API?
* OpenStack command line (i.e. nova cli)
* OpenStack libraries (Python)
* jclouds (Java)
* fog (Ruby)
* pkgcloud (node.js)
* openstack.net (C#)
* php-opencloud (PHP)
* deltacloud (HTTP API)
* other - please specify
* none - wrote our own

2. If you wrote your own code for accessing the OpenStack API, what wire format 
are you using?
* JSON
* XML

3. If you wrote your own code for accessing the OpenStack API, what programming 
language did you write it in?
* Python
* Java
* Ruby
* node.js
* C#
* PHP
* Perl
* C/C++
* Other (please specify)

All of the answers would be multi-select. e.g. checkboxes instead of radio 
buttons.

Do we need more questions?

Do we need change the wording of the questions as if it's from the perspective 
of the OpenStack operators asking their users what tools they are using to 
develop applications on an OpenStack cloud?

e.g.  What toolkits *are your users using* to interface with the OpenStack API?
If *your users wrote their* own code for accessing the OpenStack API, what wire 
format are *they* using?

Regards,
Everett
