Second is more question > about internationalization (i18n). I think demographic is largely covered by the first question about country. As to i18n, I don't think it is fully covered just by the question about one's language preference to communicate with computer (which is probably is more correctly to call localization). Possible questions related to i18n are: - Do you use file names with non-ASCII characters? - Do you use text files with non-ASCII characters? - Do you (or members of your team) use computers with different character sets and have to deal with non-ASCII characters? But I guess we do not want to have so many questions. So, maybe something simple instead: - Are you satisfied with support for non-ASCII characters in Git? > Should "What version do you use now?" be multiple choice (using git > on more than one machine / operating system)? I think we already have another question about what OS one uses. So I believe it should be only version number here. > What should be possible > choices for "How long do you use git?"?
