What's the middle ground between work and unpaid projects? Paid projects that aren't work? Isn't that the definition of work? Very confused... > 7.

I haven't supported it in a very long time. Might be a good idea to keep it in this survey just to make sure its 0, then omit it from the next survey. :-) > Changes in GIT (since year ago, or since you started using it) ... > 5.

This community has accomplished a lot since the last survey. That list covers most of the major items over the past year, if not all of them. But I'd never really seen it all written out in such a concise list; there's so much blood, sweat and tears in those topics from everyone on (and off) this mailing list. Reading it now is bringing back a lot of memories for me. Sorry, I just had a very emotional reaction to seeing how much we have managed to accomplish in so little time. Thank you to everyone who has made this list possible! > Getting help, staying in touch > > 1. Have you tried to get GIT help from other people? > - yes/no > 2.

Just kicking the idea out there. Some of us have talked about this on and off from time to time, I wonder what our user community thinks of it. I think Sam Vilain was suggesting he sell Git support to my day-job company, so my coworkers could call him and ask him questions, and he could ask me those same questions on #git, then mail me a 6-pack of beer[*1*] for my troubles. :) [*1*] And sadly I don't drink beer... -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
