Hi all, we can make any survey and I am more than willing to help (Yes, I am even a psychologist ;) )
BUT: Just as at least Greg and Christoph said, we will not get anywhere concerning the issue of this thread by conducting a survey. Normal users will not understand what we want from them. They cannot experience the UI. So they have to imagine what this UI would mean to them - and this will lead to a major variance in data - and the results will be worthless (not even mentioning the amount of reading that would be needed by the users, to at least be able to imagine the personal impact). SO: Surveys yes, but we have to do them more intelligently, to get the answers we need to know. And this will never be only one survey nor will it be only surveys. Surveys are only one piece of the puzzle. As a personal remark to this thread: A complete redesign of the interface is not on the agendy of any LO-developer (as far as I know). So, please do not waste your or anybody elses time with creating big pictures. We will get to the point where this is constructive - but at the moment it is just the opposite of it. If anyone wants to do something really helpfull: try to find and document the small improvements that are possible to make LO rock even more. I truely believe in the power of evolution in the development of LO. Any attempt of a revolution will need to back-uped by much more than a thread in this list or even a survey resulting in a positiv feedback to any solution. Saying all of this: If you still want to go for a survey, I am more than willing to help, to get the best out of it :) Cheers, Björn P.S. I do love the idea of a pop-up in LO to motivate users to participate, but this actually needs to be done intelligently. I will post my thoughts about this some time. If anybody actually wants to start working on this, please ping me! Am Samstag, 26. November 2011, 15:32:13 schrieb Charles-H.
