I'd be happy to help develop the survey questions. We could devise probably 4-7 more questions without users resisting too much--long surveys annoy users. Ending with a couple of open-ended questions: what is most frustrating to you about AOO? what do you like most about AOO? could also shed some light.
>From what I can tell, ASF has a policy of open content, open source, and it would follow that open data is a part of this. It might be possible to get engagement from parts of the academic usability community (i.e. analysis and discussion of what the different results mean, what to adjust, as well as promoting AOO in academia) by sharing the usability responses/results openly. Just an idea. I know when I was training, it was hard to find usability data because most entities protect it like IP--can't give results, shortcomings, or improvements. Having the data would also be nice.
