[Themaintainers] Request: your favorite maintenance examples

[Andrew Russell]

Hi Laura - 

Yes, we plan to share the results with the list, if there’s sufficient response and interest.  We’d anonymize responses, of course. 

I would be really happy for you (and others) to share more widely - thank you!

Andy

Our experience with our list subscribers is that you all share our interest or even admiration for maintenance success stories; and you also share our irritation with the buzzword "innovation" and the notion that innovation can cure all kinds of social ills.  So, we thought we’d collect and share anecdotes using a google form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAlsd2zDTTjgGDw7OwwUpb_d7t4Ii0w2OslZfsLaG1RIxSQg/viewform>.  The form has 2 questions (and a place for you to leave your name/contact info):
>

>
