I see where you are coming from Alexandro. However, for surveys to be successful with low margin for errors we need a bigger sample. I studied sociology and psychology, and I learned that in any survey the sample (people used in a survey) has to be big. 10 users will not represent OOo community appropriately. Basing marketing strategies on a survey with 10 people participating would be disastrous. 10 people do not represent 6 billion people on this planet. The survey would have to be public, and be offered upon registration at the website, and we could redefine the survey during installation to match the websites format. They would be collected by a centralized database, and the results could be viewed real-time. We could set a specific quota for the survey and stop after we reach it, or it could be ongoing project, a sub-project of marketing as results would be used for market research and see what market share we own. Also, it would provide us with another way of tracking the number of people who have OOo.

Actually I want to avoid that metodology since we need a very direct response. The current questionaire is more like an ongoing statistic of the users however the results might vary or get very disjointed. That is why a focus group will keep data to the point and have a starting and ending period. So I hope we can get this project of the ground and be able to assemble a good and diverse individuals into a focus group. We can start asking for people wanting to join the focus group and then get a selection of just 10 users to qualify for this survey. -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
