OK - call it 'experimental research'. The reason I don't want to offer set questions comes from my own experience in getting people using Ubuntu for the first time. Every computer user has different needs and different working practices. In addition, the user will be influenced in his or her answers by the questions themselves, so I don't feel that standard statistical research is right for this task. What I'm advocating here is that the volunteer simply tells about his or her experience and especially any problems that were encountered. Also, we need to know about users who at first glance don't think that Ubuntu could be used for something they often need to do. More than likely it can be done - and we will need to make it easier for them to find out how! I know it is always easier for us to work to a set formula. In this instance though, I am just asking for good listeners who can record the overall feelings and needs from each 'experiment'. Kind regards, Barry. -- Barry Drake is a member of the the Ubuntu Advertising team. http://ubuntuadverts.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-advertising Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-advertising More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
