I didn't know about that, but its a great information and i will have a look into it! Im sure, it 
will help us seeing what has been done before to probably build new surveys around it. Thanks.

Actually no at the moment. I am thinking about writing my dissertation in this, but I haven't 
decided yet. I will see, if we get interesting results on the running survey and if its possible to 
make a big topic out of it. If thats so, I will let you know and see, if its ok to use the results 
for that as well (as its all running in the name of LibreOffice, i wouldnt just take the results 
for my work).

We are very much interested, in sharing with everyone who could possibly learn from or be 
interested in what we are doing. So that would be great as - on the other hand - im sure we could 
learn a lot from that as well.
