Re: [Usability] Gnome Research - Sociological Survey Published

[Tim McConnell <tmick1 earthlink net>]

Anton, 
The survey is not getting many positive comments from Fedora Forums.
Some of the comments are as follows:

 "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...." 

"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. Even
Microsoft."

"They just seem to be collecting data on what folks are using
Gnome/Linux for, nothing about what people WANT from Gnome 3...."
 
So I'm not sure that was such a great idea after all :( 
However, if you were planning a second survey it does give something to
think about as far as the next line of questions and if the survey can
be viewed as being creditable.
