<li><a name="item_Be_more_community_active"></a><b>Be more community active</b>
<p>This last item refers to the core team being more active on Stack Overflow, Perl Monks, and the like. To the best of our abilities, we will
try to do so!</p>

<p>This comment in particular stood out to me:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">"More tutorials. Especially about deployment. I believe the greatest 
hurdle for new developers (as in new new, who start doing web stuff 
in Perl, or programming in general, with Dancer) is not to get started, 
but to get done. There is a lot of good content in all the major 
frameworks in the Perl ecosystem on how to build an application, but 
all of them lack in-depth tutorials with different alternatives for how 
to deploy them. This includes telling inexperienced users what hosting a 
web application means, what the different deployment types with PSGI do 
and which one to pick. I think having a really good guide would set 
Dancer apart from other frameworks."</pre>

<p>This is certainly one area we have set out to improve in the documentation.</p>
<h2><a name="cool_uses_of_dancer"></a>Cool uses of Dancer</h2>

<p>Our users shared with us some of the cool things they have done with Dancer. 
I'm considering doing some writeups on the Dancer website about some of them:</p>
<ul>
<li><a name="item_Service_monitoring_dashboard"></a><b>Service monitoring dashboard</b>
</li>
<li><a name="item_VOIP_provisioning_app"></a><b>VOIP provisioning app</b>
</li>
<li><a name="item_Benefits_management_software"></a><b>Benefits management software</b>
</li>
<li><a name="item_thegamecrafter_com__and_their_family_of_sites_applications_"></a><b>thegamecrafter.com (and their family of sites/applications)</b>
</li>
<li><a name="item_Unattended_installation_portal"></a><b>Unattended installation portal</b>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="wrapping_it_all_up"></a>Wrapping it all up</h2>

<p>We received a lot of constructive feedback from this process, and while we might
not do a survey every year, from time to time, this will be a good barometer
of where things are and where we need to go.</p>
<p>Some of the feedback we received has already been acted upon (websockets, doc
improvements), and you can look forward to us addressing your other feedback
as we are able. Right now, we are working on a better manual that has more 
information about the things you'd most like to see. Stay tuned!</p>
