Maybe we can push all of the technical stuff solidly to the very bottom, and have a thing that says, "If no, you've completed this survey, thanks!" Something like that? Maybe chunk it into two parts, one higher up for sys-admin level usage, and another one further down for advanced storage tech so a sys=admin who isn't as experienced with advanced storage can just skip that section. > And in > some cases can avoid someone just circling "something" because they felt > like they were supposed to answer all the questions, which leads to > random, wacky data.

I think we also might want to have a preface on the top of the survey that says something like, "We're trying to gauge your familiarity and experience with some of the technologies that are possible to work with in this software. This is just to help us interpret the results of your test, and is not any kind of intelligence test or quiz. Please don't feel uncomfortable if you're not familiar with what a question is asking, and feel free to skip any questions you're not comfortable with." > Other thoughts: Since it looks like this is happening at devconf.cz - if > it is not being translated, it might be worthwhile to find out if > english is a primary/secondary/etc. language as a demographics-type > question. Filip has offered to translate our testing materials for us for use at devconf.cz.

Thanks Robyn, this is exactly the type of feedback we're looking for. :) ~m _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
