We had a pretty packed 2012 in regards to nginx development. We’ve got a
lot of feedback too from a variety of users.
However as we gear up for the new development cycle in 2013, we’d
appreciate a lot if you could spare 7-10 minutes of your time and take a
look at our online survey:
This survey will help us greatly to define goals and adjust priorities
in 2013 and to make nginx better.
It would be nice to have a survey response analyse and what that means to nginx
roadmap.
Definitely. But first we need more responses to make it statistically
valid And then we’ll definitely plan to make a blog post or something
with an aggregated summary and notes about roadmap.
Done! maybe something to think about, allow a feature request to be
sponsored, for example SiT has this, if many sponsor a request it gets done
faster or if few sponsor a request, it requires higher sponsor fees to get
it done.
Thanks for completing the survey and thanks for the suggestion. We
actually have this, though it’s currently structured a bit differently
(single/few sponsors per feature vs. crowdfunding)
During 2012 the following features were sponsored:
SPDY (Automattic)
OCSP Stapling (GlobalSign, Comodo, DigiCert)
Chunked transfer encoding on input (sponsor preferred to refrain from
public announcement)
WebSockets (due to be ready soon, and the sponsors list to be
disclosed)
Done! maybe something to think about, allow a feature request to be
sponsored, for example SiT has this, if many sponsor a request it gets
done
faster or if few sponsor a request, it requires higher sponsor fees to
get
it done.
