I skimmed the english version of that article & thought was surprised
that gEDA didn't rate a mention.  I didn't pick up on the fact that it
was a reader survey, though.  Being a Elektor die-hard from edition #12
(I think it was the 1st to hit Tasmanian newsagents) I thought they may
have run gEDA a line or two, but I guess that may not pay the bills...
