It's only a few questions and we will share the results of the survey in this discussion group when it has been completed and analyzed so everyone can walk away with some useful information.

What is in it for the people taking the time? From your message, I have the impression that there is no benefit for me whatsoever to fill out the survey, but possibly half an hour (or more) of net time lost on hacking. It is not enough for me to know that you conduct "some survey".

Maybe 20 tick boxes in total. I completed it in about the same time it took you to moan about it. ``` ## Alex Riesen, 2010-02-25 09:31 Subject: Re: Repository Shootout - let the voice of GIT users be heard Message-ID: <81b0412b1002250131s72c72b0cvac5cfdb9b57590ef@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/81b0412b1002250131s72c72b0cvac5cfdb9b57590ef%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 00:57, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > On Wed, 24 Feb 2010, AssemblaSM wrote: > >> We are conducting a short survey about the SCM systems that you use >> professionally and personally and why. > > What is in it for the people taking the time? ... They share results after the survey is completed. It's enough. ``` ## Matthieu Moy, 2010-02-25 09:41 Subject: Re: Repository Shootout - let the voice of GIT users be heard Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/vpqzl2x1wlg.fsf%40bauges.imag.fr In-Reply-To: ``` Johannes Schindelin writes: > Hi, > > On Wed, 24 Feb 2010, AssemblaSM wrote: > >> We are conducting a short survey about the SCM systems that you use >> professionally and personally and why. > > What is in it for the people taking the time? Increase the number of people saying that Git is cool, one more step towards world domination ;-). OTOH, the survey results will probably be very biaised (depending on who received the call), so I doubt the result will actually give a hint on which VCS is most popular. > From your message, I have the impression that there is no benefit > for me whatsoever to fill out the survey, but possibly half an hour > (or more) of net time lost on hacking. I did it, it's actually a few minutes, not half an hour. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ```
