Dear All,

I am a PhD student in e-Business in Durham University, Durham Business School (UK). My research topic is "Knowledge management and innovation in virtual organisations". The aim of my thesis is to assess how and to what extent knowledge is created, shared, and circulated in open source software (OSS) communities. In my empirical studies I am collecting primary data from members/developers of OSS communities.

Because you are the one who can give me a correct picture of how you experience your contribution to OSS activities, I would be grateful if you could spend no more than 15 minutes to answer to my questionnaire (URL: http://www.dur.ac.uk/zilia.iskoujina/qq.htm). The information you provide will help me to reach the aim of my thesis. Your response will be kept strictly confidential.

There will be some prizes - after finishing the data collection, I will randomly select some respondents and send them gift vouchers for GBP 20 from Amazon.

Thank you very much for your time and cooperation. I greatly appreciate your help in contributing to this research endeavour.

Yours faithfully,

Zilia Iskoujina

This is me being picky, on the question "what language you use frequently". AJAX is not a language it's a technique or method.

JavaScript is the programming language that Ajax function calls are made in
