This is something that needs to be very well thinken off. # I've seen a survey link (not active though) on the fedora marketing resources page. I would prioritize this, as information is power, and having such tool would eventually help us. If we have a 10 million user spec, we only need 1064 valid questionnaires to grant a 5% error. Segmenting our targets would allow us to develop more attractive communication. # I would recon that if your objective is massification of Fedora GNU/Linux, we aim exactly to the points where it does matter to end users: - Ease of use - Productivity (Educational/Corporate targets) - Support - Eye Candy / Technology There is no base on this suggestions (such as surveys or studies), but I would eventually characterize those as some of the most important things that newcomers and migrating users would value.
