You could argue that only certain really interested parties will look at fedoraproject.org, but that's why I was suggesting the start page or firstboot (bad idea, I know), or something people will see when they first open a browser or use a system. Not just the die hards. My personal opinion is that user feedback in general is a good thing, even if you ultimately choose to disregard it. And I think putting a survey up for 6 months (e.g. all of F13) would give plenty of time to do reasonably useful statistical analysis of opinions. Shove in a few other more generic questions if there are any others - e.g. "what do you use Fedora for anyway?". Wouldn't that be good to know :) Jon. P.S. The government is elected, doesn't mean they don't still hold a census every decade to find out who their users are. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
