The OpenEdge Hive

Consultants answered questions about his/her participation in email and forums. For a breakdown of Consultants participating in this section of the Progress Consultants survey, refer to Participating Consultants.

Of Participating Consultants,
64% answered for a message posted on PSDN;
62% answered for a message posted on PEG;
56% answered for a message posted on ProgressTalk.

If a message is posted to a Forum once, how likely are you to see it?

Consultants are much more likely to see timely information on PEG than PSDN forums. Europeans have different reading frequencies than do North Americans. The sample from Africa is small, so those Consultants are not itemized in this report. Consultants from Asia have provided no detailed data.

Of the responses, these are the most interesting remarks:

• I’ll see it only if it’s posted to PEG’s OpenEdge forum.
• It depends upon how busy I am. Once upon a time I saw everything. For the past few months I’ve been invisible.
• If it’s in a forum I watch, I’ll see it—but not otherwise.
