### Questionnaire
In order to gather statistics for applications' flagship instances to extrapolate from, we have set up a questionnaire based on relevant metrics, set up using a LimeSurvey instance hosted by ProcoliX.
### Questions
1. Amount of people actively working on the project in:
1. development of the software
1. governance of the software
1. governance and moderation of the official instance
1. system administration of the official instance
1. Resources used for the official instance in terms of:
1. CPU
* minimum/average/peak percentage of (number of) CPU cores used?
* CPU model used
1. storage: in e.g. GB currently used by the instance
1. networking: in e.g. min/max/average MiB/s in/out of the instance
1. RAM: in e.g. min/max/average GB used by the instance
1. related costs
1. Investments in the project (e.g. donations, self-funded, grants like NLNet, commercial plans):
1. committed so far
1. received so far
1. periodical commitments
## Accompanying introduction
> Hi there,
> On behalf of Fediversity, I'm gathering info on total global [investments in the global Fediverse ecosystem](https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/investment_analysis), a report on which we will publish on our website <fediversity.eu>. As the structured information available on this topic for instances in the wild is fairly limited, for part of the questions on this I am hoping to make estimations by extrapolating from info on the flagship instances.
> We hope a better overview on the resources in the Fediverse may help clarify its momentum for key decision-makers interested in adopting, investing in and interfacing with this technology.
> Would you maybe have info for me for your application? Questions touch on:
> 1. people active on the project
> 1. resources used for the official instance(s)
> 1. financial investments in the project
> Thanks in advance for helping out - as well as for making the Fediverse great!
