Landscape of Web developer research #5

Part of our strategy to collaborate on developer research should include understanding what's already being done, by whom and towards what audience, to understand if the results (assuming they're shared) can be re-used in our effort.

Starting with the list of efforts that have been mentioned so far:

MDN DNA: done by Mozilla with the MDN Product Advisory Board; no clear maintenance plan at the moment, as far as I know
MDN Short Surveys
State of JS
State of CSS
Chromium Origin Trial feedback
The Web We Want (see also #4)

@foolip can you help complete the list (including and where available with data about ownership, maintenance, opportunity to collaborate, timeline, audiences, ...)?

For MDN Short Surveys:

Timeline: We have a first demo version ready to go out within the next couple of weeks
Owner: MDN
Collaborators: Ideally same as the members of the MDN Product Advisory Board
Audience: visitors to MDN
Opportunity to collaborate: if the first version is successful, the goal is to establish governance and process around how surveys will be requested and run

Some more that I know of:

Stack Overflow Annual Developer Survey (since 2011)
SlashData does lots of surveys. Most not public, but Global developer population report is.

Neither of these target web developers specifically, and I haven't tried to get involved with them.
