Some early results

It's still very early in the survey, but the first 1,000 respondents are already showing us some very interesting results.

Here's a glimpse at the data for a couple of our 20+ questions. (See all the questions and take the survey!)

On the question of using GPL vs non-GPL licensed extensions:

  • 29% say "I only use extensions that are fully GPL compliant"
  • 20% say "I'll use non-GPL if I have to"
  • 51% say " Whatever works regardless of license"

How often Joomla users update Joomla to the latest released version:

  • 28% say they "Immediately update every version release asap"
  • 40% say they "Wait for problems/bugs and delay update for a few days or more"
  • 22% say they "Update only when major security or bugs are fixed in release"
  • 10% say they "Rarely or never update"

Where do Joomla users get their templates:

  • 5% say they use a custom template outsource to designer
  • 15% say they designed a template in-house
  • 53% say they purchased a commercial template
  • 24% say they use a free template
