### Some statistics about ongoing first Git Rev News Readers Survey
20+
21+
The [Git Rev News Reader Survey](https://survs.com/survey/jo07oxsaom) was announced
22+
in the [previous edition](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2023/05/31/edition-99/)
23+
with the goal to gather responses from the community to help improve Git Rev News.
24+
Unfortunately, there we got only 11 responses to the survey (among 250 visits).
25+
Compare this number to 3236 to 11498 responses to various Git User's Surveys...
26+
27+
The results cannot be considered statistically significant, but here is what we have
28+
gathered so far:
29+
30+
+ Most enjoyed Git Rev News section was "Developer Spotlight (aka Interview)",
31+
followed closely by "Discussions (General, Reviews, Support)".
32+
Least enjoyed was the "Releases" section.
33+
+ The order of Git Rev News section(s) agrees with readers expectations,
34+
with the exception of the "Releases" section thougt to better be near bottom,
35+
and the "Other News (aka Links)" to better be in the middle, swapping the
36+
order of those two sections.
37+
+ The survey gathered various interesting suggestions, among others:
38+
+ more developer (or even _user_) interviews,
39+
+ include brief description of what is in the link,
40+
+ interviews with some of authors of Git tools,
41+
+ include short articles about how to do source control and how Git is being used,
42+
+ or add an *editorial* piece to start off the newsletter,
43+
+ add an index of previous Git Rev News (e.g. 'who have we interviewed')
44+
+ For the "Discussion" section the suggestion include adding headlines or subheadings,
45+
having some images (e.g. diagrams or screenshots) where appropriate,
46+
and adding TLDR summary of longer articles (or making article shorter).
47+
+ There were an idea of providing a simple web form to suggest contributors to be interviewed.
48+
+ [VonC](https://stackoverflow.com/users/6309/vonc) was suggested for an interview,
49+
and Jeff King (aka peff) and Junio C. Hamano for re-interview.
50+
51+
There will be further analysis of the responses in the future.
52+
Thank very much all of you that participated in the Reader Survey.
