A friendly amendment:

b. git (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)

I'd curious, too, and would hate to miss git users who don't use GH.

Cheers,

Greg

Keith, I think you'd get better data from the following:

7. Are you using some form of version control?
a.     SVN, TFS, Mercurial, etc.
b.     GitHub
c. cCMS (on premises)
d. cCMS (hosted)
e. No; we pray a lot

Levity aside, I'd like to know the split between GitHub and more traditional code repositories.

Best,
Kris

At the end of the DITA TC meeting I asked the members there to review our polling questions to see if they had any thoughts on what we intended to ask.

We got suggested changes for two questions, which I think would be worthwhile:

For #7 ("*Are you using a cCMS?"), turn it into a multiple-choice question which instead asks:

7. Are you using some form of version control?
a.      File system only
b.      SVN or GitHub
c. cCMS (on premises)
d.    cCMS (hosted)
e.    No

And for #8 ("*Are you using Dynamic Publishing?"), turn this into a multiple-choice question which asks:

8. What are the output types you support?
a.      PDF
b.      Web
c. Dynamic
d. ePub
e. Personalized/User-specific

I think these are good suggestions, as they drill down further into the sort of data that would be useful for us, so I recommend that these substitutions be made (so long as Kathy can do so)!

Cheers!
