 + 
 +It's interesting that the Bugzilla survey was aimed at a small number of organisations using MantisBT, rather than its direct users. Something to consider for us as well perhaps by having two different surveys - organisations versus end-users. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== User role ==== 
 + 
 +  - How to you usually use MantisBT: 
 +    - I am a MantisBT user - I report/edit bugs

 +    - I am a MantisBT developer - I contribute to the MantisBT core or to a plugin

Moving to more modern browsers also involves a more streamlined and modern UI.
