   04. Which programming languages you are proficient with?
       (The choices include programming languages used by git)
       (zero or more: multiple choice)
     - C, shell, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk
     + (should we include other languages, like C++, Java, PHP,
        Ruby,...?)

Yes, I think this should be a long list.

I'd rather not have a "laundry list" of languages.  I have put C++
because QGit uses it, Java because of egit/jgit, PHP for web
interfaces, Ruby because of GitHub and because of Ruby comminity
choosing Git.  I should perhaps add Emacs Lisp, HTML+CSS and
JavaScript here.  What other languages should be considered?

C# at least, since we had one (pretty unsuccessful) attempt at 
reimplementing Git in it.

What is the reason for the question? Do we want to know what languages
people would like to contribute to Git in or do we want to know what "kind"
of programmers are attracted by Git?  Making it a long list should make
it easier to tabulate the responses.

The idea is, I think, to know what languages people could contribute
to Git; see analysis of this question at GitSurvey2007 page on git wiki:
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey2007#head-ecb5564d71e4093e2e93e508380407a26dbcbdea

C++ is for QGit, Java for egit/jgit, C# for git#/widgit and perhaps
Git-Cheetah, PHP for web interfaces, Ruby because of GitHub, Python
because some contrib is in Python, Emacs Lisp for git.el, HTML+CSS
and JavaScript for web interfaces; perhaps we should also add AsciiDoc
for documentation.  And of course "I am not programmer" response...

But I'm not too tied to this question; I guess it can be simply
removed if it doesn't offer some important (for us) information.
