It certainly _looks_ nice, but it lacks one very important feature (or at least I was not able to find it): the ability to download *RAW* data to analyse it off-line using more advanced tools (like for example Perl script to clean-up responses; spreadsheet like Excel or Gnumeric, or some statictics tool like R to analyze data, for example do a correlation between responses to different questions). http://www.survey.net.nz allows to download raw data in modified CSV format (modified as it allows for line continuation). See for example raw data for Git User's Survey 2007 results: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey2007?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=surveydata.csv There is another nice thing that http://www.survey.net.nz is supposed to have (but it doesn't unfortunately work; at least downloading current layout of survey to tweak off-line doesn't/didn't work), namely ability to create survey off-line using some specified text format, and upload it, instead of creating it on-line (which might be much work for large surveys). -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- 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
