[llvm-dev] [RFC] GitHub Survey - Please review

[Renato Golin via llvm-dev]

Hi Chris,

Bear in mind that the more questions we have, the harder it will be to
interpret the results. If we have 20+ questions, it'll be impossible
to understand anything.

Also, the multiple choice questions are meant as a guide to understand
"how many" people fall into one or another category, while the free
text ones are meant to complement and give technical reasons for their
answers.

So, we should focus our multiple choice questions on divisive topics
and let everything else to the free text-fields.

I've added these two as one. I know they're slightly different, but so
will be the the answer to the first question, which will work to
disambiguate this one.

I understand that this is a contentious issue around the git move, but
we should focus on the bigger picture, which is day to day usage as
well as infrastructure.

This looks very specific to me, I'm trying to avoid side questions
here and let people write up on the free text areas what their usage
is.

I don't think that previous usage is relevant. It may be relevant to
the people doing it and to their responses on how hard it will be, but
this should be encoded in the other questions. Some of that already
is.

This is a topic for the free-text fields.
