A few weeks ago, we put out a short survey to gather information about
how the community is actually using Immutant. We'd like to share our
take on the results.

significant conclusions, but we can possibly get a general feel of the

The results didn't surprise us too much, though, based on the
comments, it appears we need to do a bit better job of communicating
the improvements of 2.x over 1.x.
Noteworthy items include:

Of the minority of folks who evaluated Immutant and decided to use
something else, most of them either hadn't actually used it or had
only used 1.x. So we mayhap have some opportunity there.

Other noteworthy items include:

* A high number of deployments to internal data centers and interest
in clustering. Those two are likely related. Immutant 2 is far more
"cloud friendly" than its predecessor since it contains no app server,
only libraries, so we may see more non-data center deployments in the
future.
* There is a good bit of interest in clustering and a fairly high

may see more publicly-hosted deployments in the future.

* Almost as many 2.x deployments in production as 1.x, even though 2.x
is still in beta. {{why? more approachable? we don't know how many
of those deployments are inside WF, where "approachable" wouldn't
apply}}

1) 2.x has been pretty stable over the course of its *VERY* long
beta cycle, and b) 2.x is simpler than 1.x.

WildFly as have embedded, which surprised us. We expected a larger
