Hi Mark Maybe it would be an idea to setup something like: https://testpilot.mozillalabs.com/
Alpha/Beta/ Lon-term loyal users could then install a test-pilot package and opt-in to certain test that Canonical need done for feedback. You could then run say the heat map test for 5 days with buttons on the left and then 5 days with buttons on the right. I did some of the tests with the testpilot for Mozilla and it was not very intrusive and most importantly it was OPT-IN. That is key for this sort of direct data feedback. Dont just change take search feedback like was done in Karmic cycle with the Firefox addon ;) Many of us Ubuntu users are relatively loyal, but too many 'odd' tests/changes in the development cycle could scare us off. Make the controversial changes opt-in like test-pilot and then directly track the usage you need ;) I moved to Crunchbang #! Statler for some quite time during button-gate. (XFCE based on Debian Squeeze for Alpha) and will then track Debian stable. Any way, just an idea of how you can get the real data ( but must be opt-in if it reports data back to base) The only feedback you get without something like test pilot is us screaming here in bug reports when we think you taking a wrong turn. Most of us want Canonical to succeed but as we run the Alphas/Dev versions we also get spooked when we see potential for something embarrassing happening.
