This page takes questions from Developer Survey Questions and Accenture DCI Questions in an attempt to develop a Survey that the DCI WG would like to present to the larger Hyperledger Community. The survey has the following goals:
- Understand how the Hyperledger Community is doing in regards to Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion (See Section 1 questions)
- Understand interaction experiences (See Section 2 questions)
- Understand who is part of the Hyperledger Community (See Section 2 questions)3 questions)

We are very grateful for your time and participation and hope that you will see the impact of your input over the course of the next year as we respond to the survey's output. there are few terms and concepts that we'd like to make sure we define so that you can keep it in mind as you proceed through the questions:
