A lot of the suggested questions are hard facts. Some of them will
indicate usage to suggest where we might focus, but they mostly won't
indicate opinions. This means, for example, that people might say
they're using Gentoo for a server but they won't be able to express how
well it works.
I would like to see a lot more ratings and scales, for example:
How well does Gentoo as a whole meet your needs?
Perfectly
Extremely well
Fairly well
Not that well
Poorly
Rate the following, on a 1-10 scale (or a perfect to poor scale)
Gentoo's official documentation
Unofficial documentation (forums, wiki, etc)
Forums
Wiki
Are you able to find solutions for Gentoo-related issues on Google
or other search engines?
Always
Usually
Sometimes
Rarely
Never
Robert Buchholz said we should ask about services usage. I also think we
should ask people to rate those services.
Other questions, that might address issues like our future goals as a
distribution and will probably involve open-ended portions?
What do you think of Gentoo's future?
"It looks bright" to "I'm installing Ubuntu right now"
What is Gentoo best at right now?
What should Gentoo be best at?
What is Gentoo worst at right now?
What should Gentoo stop focusing on?
What hurts Gentoo the most?
Thanks,
Donnie
