[OSGeo-Discuss] A few survey stats

[Jody Garnett]

If I can put in 2 cents for something that seems to have been missed: supporting open source development.

I know developers are mostly self motivating; but just like "target areas" devoted to use it would be good to see some target areas devoted to "development".

These are aggregates of "least important, low importance" vs "fairly, very, most important". "Marginal importance" was ignored for this graph. Note the larger the gap between the red and blue lines on an axis shows a greater difference in voting preference. The two rings represent 50% and 100% of votes.
