Frank,

I have two thoughts on that.

1. I think that the first question ("Which aspect of GDAL/OGR is more
important to your organization? The GDAL (raster) services, or the OGR
(vector/feature) services, or are both important?") should be removed,
because it is pointless. If most sponsors do not interested in GDAL,
does it mean we should drop it? No way. Don't they interested in OGR? We
should continue OGR. So I do not see a point in the first question.

2. The eight question ("Is support for non-English languages within
GDAL/OGR important to your organization?") should be reworded as :

"Is international and localized support in GDAL/OGR important to your
organization?"

I am +1 for other questions in the survey.

Best regards,
Andrey
