Thus I would like people who are involved in dictionary maintenance in some way to answer this brief survey for me. Please answer inline by replying to this message and sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you wish to answer for more than one language please send the answers in separate emails. By answering this survey you agree to allow me to post your reply publicly. If this will cause a problem please clearly state so before answering any questions. I will post the results in a few weeks. Thanks in advance.
