[Gramps-devel] Survey summary

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

About a week ago, I posted a set of questions to the gramps-users
mailing list. I thought I should probably summarize the results

I received around 20 responses. Some were posted to the mailing list,
some were sent directly to me. Not everyone answered every question,
some had more that one answer to a question.
