Codewords readers' survey

A big thank you to the hundreds of readers who completed our Codewords survey in the June issue, either in print or online.

Responses were overwhelmingly positive and included many appreciative and supportive comments. It appears we are getting the technical level and contents of the articles about right, and that people really like the design and presentation.

The most popular articles were sector news, technical guidance and determinations summaries. Readers were particularly interested in information about new technologies and changes to relevant legislation.

It's great to have a better idea of which articles and topics you are interested in and we will endeavour to incorporate your preferences in the future.

Many readers also offered helpful suggestions for improvement and we will be taking these on board. The majority prefer to receive hard copies of Codewords - someone even suggested: 'It is about the right size for me to read while at traffic lights in Auckland traffic!'

As a direct result of your feedback, starting with this issue, there is a printer-friendly PDF available online as well as the PDF of the full colour printed version.

Codewords is now being issued less often, but with more content. The next issue is scheduled for the beginning of October, with another at the start of December.

We were pleased to receive your feedback and are using it to inform our ongoing Codewords review.
