Ok, this is going nowhere. We have a bunch of "me too"'s but that's never going to change their mind or give them a realistic sample of the gnome users' opinions. Quoting André Klapper's (condescending) comment upstream: > 'Feel free to ask "them", e.g. run a poll somewhere where probably 0.01% of > "the GNOME users" will comment.'
Now, instead of wasting time here, should we not indeed be looking at how to run such a poll and ensuring that we have 1) a large enough statistical sample 2) representative enough of the GNOME "population" ? Where and how could this be done in a (semi?) official manner? On the other hand, I have a vague pessimistic feeling that even if we do that and have a statistically sound poll to present to them, if the empirical results go against their "hypothesis", they will dismiss them by saying that the study was flawed, that the results are not representative, and that we are a bunch of clueless non-designers, etc. Anyway. At this point, I don't really *care* who "wins" anymore. I just thought I'd mention this possibility, and that it would be an interesting social experiment to actually run such a poll on a large and representative sample (now, go figure out how to do that. OSNews+Slashdot+Digg+Ubuntuforums pointing to a single page?). -- (design decision) Icons missing from context menu , dialogue buttons , firefox bookmark favicons, system menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
