Re: [Usability] Gnome Research - Sociological Survey Published

I think it could have used some more review and input. We can always try again with a second try!

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.
