So could you write "master branch of official git repository" and the same for "next"? > 12.

Better: "custom (non-published)" means a version control system which has not been released to the public, for example, something written for yourself or your company only. And I am unsure if "SCM" is better than "version control system" in this sentence, but I do not think this is really important. > 16.

"pre-compiled binary (e.g. from rpm or deb archives)" Right? I think naming two popular package formats of distributors should people help to get the point. > 29. Which of the following features do or did you use? I still dislike that there are a lot of choices that generate redundancy to other questions. On the other hand, scientific surveys always contain (hidden) redundancy to ensure that the test person gives sane answers. > 59.

Is it possible to add a header text? I'd like that there are three things being clarified at the beginning of the survey page: * The survey is anonymous, but all information that the users provide will be publicly available on the wiki. * The users may skip questions as they like. * The user needs JavaScript to submit the survey. I btw do not like the last fact, but since most users nowadays have JavaScript activated, it may not be that bad. Also, I still do not get a succesful message after submitting, but that may be related to the channel (test), if you have configured it like that. Have you? ;) Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Beyer , PGP 0x6EDDD207FCC5040F
