Hi, what follows are my personal thoughts after reading Dmitry Yemanov’s comments to a great poll posted at Firebirdnews about the features people would like to see implemented.
There are more than 500 votes already, so I think the current results are quite representative and hence they actually (more or less) reflect the features people would like to see implemented. Let me comment the top ones.
1. SMP support is a clear winner (23% of votes) in the poll. And this is definitely one of the high priority tasks in the project. As you know, it was the major goal of the Vulcan development and its implementation is being currently tested. The public test versions will be available soon for those who’s willing to test it in real-world scenarios. The final SMP implementation is targeted for the v3.0 release, as stated in our roadmap.
The survey results are available at our website. A few participants may have not received the report as their email addresses were bouncing back.
I take this oppurtunity to welcome each one of you who did not participate in the survey to register at our website and download the Report.
Best regards,
Nitin

Today we are closing the “What is you main language used with FB?“. The survey got 1,268 answers, and the final result can be viewed here.
Delphi is the winner with 65% of the votes, followed by Java and PHP (both with 7%) and C# with 6%.
Now you can vote in our new poll (check it at the sidebar).
Winners were announced at the Slashdot Lounge at LinuxWorld Expo, Boston, April 5. The winner of the Database category is phpMyAdmin.
[Ed: It seems that there is a typo in the sourceforge winners page. It shows two “2nd runners up” in the Database category. IMHO, it doesn’t seem too “fair” to compare database engines with database frontends.]
A new Poll system is currently available in FirebirdNews! From time to time, we will publish interesting polls so you can vote and let us gather information about the actual usage of Firebird.
