Dear users,

A recent discussion on the developers list has shown the need to have a 
clearer picture of who uses Grass, how they use it and what their priorities 
are, in order to help make development decisions. Can I, therefore ask you to 
take a few minutes and reply to the following questions. Once again, please 
do not send your reply to the mailing list, but to me personally at 
fa1079 at qmul.ac.uk. I will post a summary of the results for everyone to see.


1) What do you use Grass for (i.e. what type of work (land use management, 
satellite images, ...)




2) In what kind of production environment do you use Grass (university, 
private company, ...) ?



3) How many people use Grass in your environment ?




4) Which version of Grass do you use (i.e. 4.3, 5.0pre2, ...) ?



5) If you are not using 5.x, not (not stable enough, old version too 
customized for personal purposes, etc) ?



6) Do you use Grass "as is" or have you adapted it for your usage (i.e. 
modified/added modules and/or scripts) ?



7) Have you ever contributed to Grass code (C-code, scripts, others) or 
documentation ?



8) In general, do you prefer to wait longer and have the developers test new 
versions more thoroughly before their release (which might reduce bugs, but 
obviously cannot guarantee a bug-free program), or do you prefer rapid 
launches of new versions with a higher number of subsequent bug-fixing 
releases ?



Thank you for your participation and thank you for using Grass !
