I also keep constantly updating the Kiva chart I made: http://www.DrawAnywhere.com/live/15455.jpg

- Added and expanding: Build.Kiva.org area with applications, waiting for the most exciting to come!
- Enlarging Kiva Fellows part with Akhun.org and Kieran's T-shirts idea.
- Maybe adding some specific team section

Thanks a lot to all of you who have filled the survey, until now 30, and will constantly keep encouraging others to do so and add their precious opinions.  Your support is highly appreciated and research will be donated to Kiva and shared with KFs.

Nice chart!!  I had totally missed that the first readthru... thanks for pointing it out   That will keep me up for a few more hours 

[damienlanfrey]

Thank yo so much! 

This is why I try to update this page at times, so to make it noticed by a wider set of people in different moments, as I know the vast majority hasn't still seen it. Chart: http://www.DrawAnywhere.com/live/15455.jpg

Any comment/question/addition/interpretation from you or any other KFs or guest seeing it now will be used to make things more understandable or complete. 

I will work on refining it on a regular basis and produce a proper interpretation.

The survey aims also at completing the picture around the contribution of some areas, activities, and the role of KivaFriends in all that.

So, keeping the link on and inviting lots more people to fill it: Questionnaire link: http://www.stellarsurvey.com/s.aspx?u=77320F3E-9B3C-4846-97E3-BB35D980D2DC&

(Up to now 35 precious feedbacks)

Thanks,
Damien

The update says 43 filled questionnaires and counting... Another night (at least here in UK) of people participating.

I am thanking again you all for this great contribution and will keep patiently (more patiently in the future    ) hoping for many other contributions to come.
The survey will still be open here --> link : http://www.stellarsurvey.com/s.aspx?u=77320F3E-9B3C-4846-97E3-BB35D980D2DC&

Also, thanks for the many comments that you have posted at the end of the survey that preciously add to the rest of the answers.
It makes me think I could add more comment boxes around as some of you might have specific opinion to vocalize on the interesting themes of the questionnaire, particularly fitting with this intense Kiva moment.

EDIT: A quick update says 66 questionnaires filled.
so much to you all until now!

Comments: many of you are leaving really interesting, precious comments on Kiva, so thank you for those too!
Recently, someone pointed to an interesting question about contents in the survey, here's why am here:
It has been pointed that a question might hint at a "false opposition", for example "being more supportive" does not exclude "being more critical" about Kiva.
Definitely, in fact that question is constructed in a way for you to be able to say your opinion regarding both states - "being more supportive" or "being more critical" about Kiva - and what I'd like to find out is not necessary the opposition, but rather how can eventually two apparently different positions in respect to Kiva might coexist, or which one is felt more intensely

The link to the survey is still here, up and running for everybody who wants to contribute, I'd be really grateful (we are reaching very good numbers ) :
