This is an awesome survey. I am a avid fan of Django and have been using it for over 4 years.

I found it amusing people are split between 6 and 12 month for release cycles.

Thus new release cycle will be 8 months, middle ground.

There are few other changes for release, notably SemVer adoption. For detailed Roadmap, see https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/

This is really interesting from a community point of view. Embarrassingly I didn't hear about the survey and thus didn't submit responses. Lots to learn from the answers though.

Does the Rails community do a similar survey?

I wonder, are the text replies on the agree/disagree/favorite/least favorite sections exhaustive? I'm guessing they were filtered somehow since there's so few, compared to the amount of replies (and the lack of people talking about their privates).

That's what jumped out at me too :) I'd favor longer term release sometimes it's difficult to mobilize organizations I work for to upgrade :

Love django been using it for 5 years, go to web framework

Just a quick and minor note, the title of this link has a spelling mistake, "Survery".

I've been starting a few Django projects during the last few years and I have had trouble finding packages that are compatible with the latest versions. Maybe their release cycle is too fast for all the 3d party apps to keep track?

Also I find that some of these 3d party apps use a notation like >= Django 1.X but that's not really true because of backwards incompatibility. A clearer way to know what exact version Django apps are compatible with would already be really helpful.

I see some comments about static assets management, reactjs and webpack. If anyone is interested, I've written an app that integrates these things with django in a clear and easy way. Check it out: https://github.com/owais/django-webpack-loader/
