Dear all,
Just received a survey report in Chinese from COSCUP, overall
GNOME has a lot of positive feedback! Please find below the
translated summary of the parts related to GNOME.
A total of 188 candidates submitted their surveys
1) 44.7% of them is Linux users
2) Out of 84 Linux users, 73 of them (86%) use GNOME Desktop
3) In general, people's perception of GNOME after the conference
is very positive:
- GNOME 3 is very interesting, cool and attractive, looking
forward to the launch

it out
- GNOME Shell looks cool and should try it out
- GNOME education is very cool
- GNOME has a lot of great tools
- A lot of contributors in the GNOME project
- Got so much new ideas about GNOME
4) There are some suggestions for GNOME:
- Not to become MacOSX
- The new GNOME Shell is too complex to do task switching, the
"traditional" tarkbar-like UI is out fashion, but it's useful
through many years.
- GNOME/GTK+ should also focus a bit more on embedded devices,
not to let KDE monopolise. Besides it is suggested to make a
light version of GNOME
- Chinese localisation is quite complete, but still have room
for improvement e.g. Pango+Cairo applications, there is Chinese
display problem

GNOME.Asia 2010
