Hi all,

I am doing a research about motivation in software development, the  
most efficient practices to motivate software engineers, their  
popularity, etc.

As a part of the research, I am doing an online survey for software  
engineers and managers in software development. It takes just several  
minutes and filling it is a good opportunity to share your opinion  
about the motivation practices being used in the software industry  
today:  
[http://ask.wizefish.com/en/MotivationSurvey.aspx](http://ask.wizefish.com/en/MotivationSurvey.aspx)

Anyone who does the survey and leaves any contacts will be sent the  
results.

Also, if someone is running a web site or blog dedicated to any aspect  
of software development we can do some link exchange.

Regards,  
Stefan Kiryazov
