I was thinking more along the lines of how many people might not be willing to take the survey because it might be a phishing site, which was brought to my attention from the comment: "Frankly, my first thought was: "how do I know this survey is really coming from GNOME?" It is not hosted by an official GNOME site. It is just a spreadsheet in Google Docs that any one could put together. " So if future surveys are done one of the considerations for the survey should be how it is presented and what can be done to ease those types of fears. The other comments that caught my attention was: "They just seem to be collecting data on what folks are using Gnome/Linux for, nothing about what people WANT from Gnome 3" and "As to the usability study linked in the first post, I didn't see anything there that could possibly influence the direction of Gnome 3. Maybe they really ought to rethink the questions...." So in a future version of a survey it might be an idea to throw in questions like what don't you like about GNOME or what things would you change/improve in GNOME? It could be an idea to do a survey about Nautilus functionality improvements, I read the survey results so far and Compiz and Nautilus seem to be the main complaints so far. Evolution seems to need some tender loving care also. I do agree the survey did/does pull good data, and as far as I'm concerned does give a good idea of how the new menu bar would be beneficial to GNOME in general. If you do decide to do another survey I would be happy to help. I like the Wikki idea but can offer no ideas on how to parse the data from that. Also with your permission I would like to post the survey results to my post in Fedora Forums. -- Tim McConnell <tmi...@earthlink.net> On Wed, 2009-04-22 at 21:15 +0300, Anton Kerezov wrote: > > > Sorry for top posting but I have no other option right now. > > > > Of course we could try a second time but I think that the results so > far are really good with nearly 360 responses and a lot of text in the > free paragraph part.
