[Bioperl-l] End-User Development Survey

[Catherine Letondal]

Hi,

An european End-User Development network (http://giove.cnuce.cnr.it/eud-net.htm)
has started 1 year ago. Its aim is to develop and promote development and
tailoring of software tools by their users, which I think is of major importance in
our field. By "users", they mean not only "end-user" - I 
don't really like this term but it's the common adopted one - but also people who, 
while being professional of a domain (i.e bioinformatics) and thus 
not being "professional" computer scientists, do participate in the development of 
software tools.

I thought that it might be interesting for this network to get some input from 
real "practicionners" by asking to the bioperlers to answer the survey 
questionnaire that is online :

Answers are sent by email to the organizers of the network and are fully 
anonymous (no record of the sending machine is made, nobody has access to the log 
files etc...). The questionnaire tests show that it should take about 10 minutes to fill.

Thanks to all of you,
