Creating a survey for self-hosted Discourse communities

支持 安装
1

I’d like to put together a little survey for projects that are managing their own Discourse forum. Published results will be 100% anonymous.

I wanna know things like:

  • Who’s their hosting provider?
  • How beefy is their hosting tier?
  • How much are they paying?
  • Who’s paying the bills? (company, donations, private person)
  • What release channel are they on?
  • Are they using any plugins?
  • What’s the rest of their web stack like?

There’s no ETA for this yet.

Do you have any other questions in mind for such a survey?
Please note: I don’t want it to take more than roughly 5 minutes to complete.

I run one such community myself, so I am genuinely curious to know how we match up against other communities such as ours. Are we the only ones using the Stable branch? I wanna know!

It’ll also be beneficial for the Discourse team to learn more about how the trends of self-hosted installs match up against their own offering.

Hm… maybe the beefy-ness of the hosting machine or VM (ito RAM, sockets and perhaps HDD). Plus the OS they’re using?

Google Docs (the web based Excel clone bit) is very good for short surveys like this.

In fact, a Google Forms form will onebox on Discourse :slight_smile:

‘onebox’是什么意思？我想在 Discourse 中集成一个调查，但不确定该怎么做。

Onebox 是您在空行粘贴链接时生成的某种预览。
以 Instagram onebox 为例：
