Something like: XX. How do you hear about git related news (such as new releases and community events)? (multiple choice or single choice?) * I wasn't aware there was any news * I don't read any news, but I'm aware of it * through news aggregation sites (such as reddit or hacker news) * from a newsletter (such as Git Rev News) * from a mailing list (such as the git developer or the git for windows li= st) * other It would be good to allow a list of specific resources to be written to capture things we don't know about, and specific instances of the categories above, eg: "hacker news, git mailing list, git rev news" > Note that there might be a problem of severe bias: people who heard > about Git User's Survey 2016 are probably ones that watch news about Git. > Still, it would be useful to know if people read RelNotes... Agreed, the intent behind the question is to work out what are the effective communication channels so that they can be used more effectively. > That is, if people have a pattern to their upgrade of Git, and can > tell how often they upgrade. > > XX.

Exactly, looks great. Regards, Andrew Ardill
