DCI Survey - Q1 2020

DRAFT - WORK IN PROGRESS

This page takes questions from Developer Survey Questions and Accenture DCI Questions in an attempt to develop a Survey that the DCI WG would like to present to the larger Hyperledger Community. The survey has the following goals:

  1. Understand how the Hyperledger Community is doing in regards to Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion (See Section 1 questions)
  2. Understand interaction experiences (See Section 2 questions)
  3. Understand who is part of the Hyperledger Community (See Section 3 questions)
