Even though analyzing answers from "Git User's Survey 2008" is not finished (although I have added partial results for questions with a free-form part, see http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey2008), it looks like there is time for annual Git User's Survey (which takes place in summer)... or at least thinking about possible questions. Coming up with a good list of questions (see below) would take time.

More than 55% of people answering survey wanted to have Git User's Survey repeated, with below 1% of people who didn't want for there to be next year survey.

On the other hand one of common complaints was that the survey was much too long, with around 60 questions (one question was split into two). It was requested for survey in this year to have maximum 20 questions.

So what I would like to have is to come up with a LIST OF QUESTIONS and possible answers; I'd like to limit number of questions with free-form part, and reduce number of free-form questions to absolute minimum; they are pain to analyse with so large number of responses.

Please write also _why_ you would want a question; what we can learn from it, how it can help in developing git.

Thanks in advance
