Sharing aggregate data, I think, is fine (e.g. totals for all the multiple choice questions). Also, it is probably safe to give all the answers for any specific question, but I would not make available a list of answers by person. > @Simon, about the location / geographical areas: They are very > unspecific (usa, europe+russia, eastern asia ... there are millions of > people!), but I can delete that column if it is really a problem.

There's a difference between "250 people from europe answered the survey" and "the person who said this, this, and that lives in ease asia." - Robert -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
