Re: [RFC] Questions for Git User's Survey 2010

My comments are inline,

| 19. In your opinion, which areas in Git need improvement?
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Please state your preference.
| (matrix)
| 
|    Columns: don't need / a little / some / much
|    --------------------------------------------
|  + user-interface
|  + documentation
|  + performance
|  + more features
|  + tools (e.g. GUI)
|  + localization (translation)
|  + community (mailing list)
|  + community (IRC)

Adding a «don't know/don't care» option here might be useful, since
somebody might not be using the mailing lists and so doesn't know or
care if they need improvement.

| Changes in Git (since year ago, or since you started using it)
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| 
| 20. Did you participate in previous Git User's Surveys?
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| (multiple choice)
| 
|  + in 2006
|  + in 2007
|  + in 2008
|  + in 2009
|  + none of the above (this is my first Git User's Survey)

Add a «I don't remember, but I've participated in the past»?

[...]

| 25. What channel(s) do you use to request help about git?
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| (multiple choice, with other)
| 
|  + git mailing list (git@vger.kernel.org)
|  + msysGit mailing list / Google Group
|  + "Git for Human Beings" Google Group
|  + IRC (#git)
|  + IRC (other git/SCM related, e.g. #github)

Perhaps add «IRC (other)» too?

|  + request in blog post or on wiki
|  + asking git guru/colleague
|  + project mailing list, or IRC, or forum
|  + Twitter or other microblogging platform
|  + instant messaging (IM) like XMPP/Jabber

XMPP/Jabber can be both one-on-one and chat rooms, even if MUCs aren't
very much used (yet), I don't know if you care about this.

Thanks for doing this survey, I've found reading the results interesting
in the past and hope to do so this time around as well.
