Thanks to generocity of Survs.com, we have been gifted with premium annual plan (previous surveys always generated quite a large number of responses). This plan will last (at least; it was usually automatically renewed at no cost) till 26 October 2016, so I am planning on having the survey for 1 month, in September: 1 September -- 30 September 2016 For now I would like to ask what types of questions would you want to see in the survey, and what you want to get from it (what would be the survey purpose). In my opinion, the survey has (at least) threefold purpose: 1. INFORMATIONAL. We can find out how people use Git, if the range of people answering the survey is wide enough and diverse enough. We can find out what are their pain points. It might be different from what we here on this mailing list think it is. Hopefully this would help direct Git development to make Git better for all. 2. EDUCATIONAL. For example a question about which features do one uses, or how one gets help about Git, tends to be educational for people taking the survey. 3. ADVERTISEMENT. Announcing Git User's Survey might be considered advertisement for git mailing list. Questions about hosting site or books can also be considered advertisement for the site in question or the book / the author, respectively. What I'd like to see is how people use Git, which features do they use and which tools (maybe there is some great unknown tool there?), where they go to find help about Git. What types of questions should there be in this year survey? -- Jakub Narębski
