Last week, OpenRAW.org launched their survey on the use of RAW files. Here is the press release. The idea behind that survey is to helps determine photographers practice related to digital photography, and showing what are the interest.

Calvin Jones' words about that are:

It's important to understand that we are seeking the views of all digital photographers - including those who support the OpenRAW initiative as well as those who may believe that proprietary RAW image formats are the best way for digital imaging to improve in the coming years. Our purpose is to find out what all digital photographers believe - not to hear from ONLY those who support one side of the issue. We want all voices included.

Calvin is one of the founder of the OpenRAW initiative.

Also, in the mean time, Glasslantern launched RAWPository, a repository of RAW files aimed at providing reference data sample that can be used throughout all the process writing RAW file decoders.
