Yes, I think this should be a long list. > 07. What helped you most in learning to use it? > (free form question) Is it possible to have multiple choice, with "other" (free-form)? Then I'd suggest: Colleague/Instructor, User Manual, Manpages, Tutorials, Tutorials (elsewhere; not in git.git), Mailing list, IRC, Git Wiki, Other. > 08.
