Thanks for passing that link along. The SUS approach might be even more interesting to apply to a satisfaction survey of the OpenOffice product itself. One thing to know: we do have access to a LimeSurvey instance (http://survey.openoffice.org). We used it most-recently to gather feedback for our AOO 4.0 logo contest. But it would be easy to use it for a SUS survey as well. The advantage with LimeSurvey is it makes it really easy to manage multiple translations of the survey, something nice with our international user based. If we did this survey, what other questions would we want to ask, to give data to correlate against? Maybe demographic factors like age, sex, country. Maybe operating system used (usability might vary by OS), certainly what version of OpenOffice is used, how long they have been using OpenOffice.
