 +It's interesting that the Bugzilla survey was aimed at a small number of organisations using MantisBT, rather than its direct users. Something to consider for us as well - perhaps by having two different surveys - organisations versus end-users. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== User role ==== 
 + 
 +  - How to you usually use MantisBT: 
 +    - I am a MantisBT user - I report/edit bugs 
 +    - I am a MantisBT administrator - I set up projects, categories, users etc 
 +    - I am a MantisBT system administrator - I manage at least a MantisBT installation on a server 
 +    - I am a MantisBT developer - I contribute to the MantisBT core or to a plugin

 +  - [administrator] How many bugs* do you have in your MantisBT instance?  ==> hopefully not too many but if you do please report them on our bugtracker [link] ;-) joke aside, this should be reworded, at least use the word 'issues' instead of bugs

      - If yes, were you successful?      - If yes, were you successful?
      - If no, why      - If no, why
        - lack of {skill,time,interest}        - lack of {skill,time,interest}
        - barrier of contribution to high {missing documentation, code hard to understand, no support from developers}        - barrier of contribution to high {missing documentation, code hard to understand, no support from developers}
 +    - [all] Javascript - the question about javascript should really put out two alternatives "support for disabled javascript" vs. "modern ajax UI". (vboctor)
 +    - [all] Browsers - Should we switch the question to ask about browser / versions that people use or they require support for?  I believe we should draw a line in the sand on what browsers we should support based on building blocks like jQuery that we will start taking heavier dependencies on. (vboctor)
 +    - [all] Mobility related question - tablet/phone usage? MantisTouch vs. other apps?(vboctor)
