With more than 3000 responses to last year survey free-form questions are not summarized till now. I'd rather limit number of free-form questions to absolute minimum. Hmmm... I wonder if the trend would continue, and we would get around 15,000 responses to this year survey (if there would be one)... -- Jakub Narebski Poland
