We just launched the **Processing Community Survey** 2025, and we’d really like to hear from you! (Yes, I know it’s 2026 but there were delays 😅)

Your answers directly influence what we prioritize next, from the software and its documentation to learning resources and community support.

Take the survey: [**survey.processing.org**](http://survey.processing.org/)

Most ppl take about 10-15 minutes to complete it. You can skip questions you don’t want to answer.

Feel free to forward this to others who use or have used Processing. Especially students or former students!

Thanks for being part of the Processing community 💙

This looks like the same survey that can be accessed from the PDE (Help → Welcome to Processing in Processing 4.5.0).

I did complete that one (if I recall correctly) but it looks like I can fill it in again. Is this a different survey? Or is there a problem with the survey that it does not inform users (or block them) that already did complete the survey?

It is the same survey, we announced it in other places since not many people download the beta like you did!
