[Qgis-psc] Closing the poll?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I agree with Vincent. It would be better to close the poll and have a 
new poll later (in a year or two). We will have different questions in 
the future and a new poll would reflect that.

I would also suggest to make only few polls. Polls are usually annoying 
and if we do them too often, we won't get a lot of feedback. Who really 
enjoys filling in polls? I would be against doing polls for every 
release. Only maybe every LTR release or for every second LTR release.
