GNOME user survey 2011 (v6)

[Felipe Contreras <felipe contreras gmail com>]

Hi,

Since I have been effectively banned from desktop devel (my posts take
two weeks to be "moderated"), I am sending this mail personally to
people that have been active in the development.

Michael Larabel has offered to host the survey in the Phoronix site,
so I have been able to bring back many questions and not limit it to
10.

I have incorporated all the suggestions and haven't had received any
more in a while, so I think this is ready to go. I say we should
launch it before the weekend, probably on Wednesday.

Michael, is there anything else I need to do to help you put it on Phoronix?

As usual, it's hosted here:

Cheers.
