I'm no longer afk. I have collated the results into the attached spreedsheet.

Previously, I also wrote up an analysis of the results. It is also attached.

Awesome!! I uploaded the files to the wiki and added them to the https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team page

For me the Pain Points and Important Features sections were very interesting! Thanks for putting this together!! :D

You proposed 3 Major Takeaways:

Users do not understand the design patterns in Sugar. This was signalled through two methods. Firstly, users prioritised a tour or explanation as an important feature. Secondly, users expressed confusion with the interface and frame.

I agree, a tour would be a great activity. When I purchased a new XO-1 in 2007 and a new XO-4 this year, it came with a little printed leaflet with some basics; and I think there is an assumption that the UI is discoverable by kids if they have unrestricted free time to play and explore it. However I haven't seen any UX-study-style testing of this assumption.

You might be interested in this blog post that I wrote on the subject: https://www.sam.today/blog/sugar-onboard-user-testing.html

https://turtle.sugarlabs.org has a welcome tour. Can something like that be done with PyGTK3?

Developer and deployers have differing opinions compared to students and teachers; eg. reducing Journal clutter is significantly more popular with developers and deployers than with students and educators.

That's interesting! I wonder if students/educators work around journal clutter, or if they don't consider it to be cluttered at all. Which deployments can we ask about this?

The most important features to the Sugar community are Browse activity, the Journal and Turtle Blocks. These are closely followed by Write activity, Collaboration, the Terminal and the Sugar style design.

I see that none of these are in the top 20 on http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/browse/type:1/cat:all?sort=popular

I can see how Browse is the most important activity for people who can be online to take the survey... for deployments without effective internet access, I wonder if that is still the case.

Cheers
Dave
