The user survey
---------------
-In order to develop _Subsurface_ in a way that serves it users in the best possible way,
-it is important to have some information about its users. How many of the users are recreational
-divers and how many are technical divers? In which ways do users interact with _Subsurface_?.
-In which countries do the users live? (This has an effect on translations of the software)
-To which degree are MacOSX and Linux used? After using _Subsurface_for about a week, each user
-receives a short user survey. Please take the time and respond to the survey with accurate
-information. It helps the development team to customise the software to fit the needs of
-the _Subsurface_ users.
+In order to develop _Subsurface_ in a way that serves it users in the best possible way,
+it is important to have some information about these users. Upon launching _Subsurface_
+after using this software for a week or so, a one-box user survey pops up. It is entirely
+optional and the user controls what, if any, data are sent to the _Subsurface_ development
+team. Any data that the user chooses to send is extremely useful, and will only be
+used to steer future development and to customise the software to fit the needs of
+the _Subsurface_ users. If one completes the survey, or clicks the option not to
+be asked again, that should be the last communication of this nature one receives.
+However, if one's diving and/or subsurface habits change and one wishes to provide
+another survey, this can be done by launching _Subsurface_ with the _--survey_ option on the
+command line.
