The points are very valid. That was one of the reasons I suggested earlier to ask gnome.org about working on the survey with the other teams and publishing it there. It would have given us credibility and a bigger insight on what we (not only u7y, all the other teams) want to know about users for the dev of Gnome 3. I really think more thought should be given about things, more communication with the Gnome teams should be made, at least if we want that survey idea to go somewhere. -- Guillaume Ardaud <guillaume.ard...@gmail.com> http://www.noxneo.net/~ga
