Just FYI, I for one already responded to Hanna's different set of=20
questions prepared for open source project community managers in October=20
last year and asked for the overall results once available. So far Hanna=20
already shared partial results with me so I assume that when she will be=20
done with this particular survey she will be same polite and send us the=20
outcome of her study.
