[Qgis-user] User question of the month

[Anita Graser]

Dear Bo,

Thank you for your input! The data is most certainly skewed towards power
users. Besides enterprise users, we mostly likely also cannot reach
occasional users and many users in education with these kinds of survey.
Nonetheless, I think if we are aware of the limitation, we can still learn
something from these surveys.

Regards,
Anita
