Ubuntu has a donation widget on their website where they ask people how much various new features would be worth. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/contribute/?version=14.04.2&architecture=amd64 I think they have the right idea. Instead of a survey, put a page like this at the download site for Workstation. I'd pay two bucks to download Fedora Workstation - compared to $160 for Windows 8.1 Pro it's a no-brainer. If people want media players, let them vote for them with money. If people want the KDE desktop or the Design spin or the audio spin or whatever - things they can easily install with the netinstall disk - let them vote for them with money. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
