Or it leads to the development of an expertise or an intuition about the complaints and issues a user actually runs into or about how the systems are actually being used. For example - talking to my former co-workers at a .edu I've determined that a LARGE number of users are no longer using local mail tools at all. They've transitioned exclusively to using gmail for all their accounts. The younger users in particular are expecting access to their information from all their devices independently - which gmail provides. -sv -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
