Dear Corrado and KDE users: Thanks for the insighful comments and suggestions. We will open a discussion among the users and developers about the results. But, first, we need to have a sufficient number of responses and conclude the survey. Therefore, friends, please fill out this useful survey: http://www.umbc.edu/hase/kdesurvey.html Thanks for your help Regards, HASE HUMAN ASPECTS of SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT, UMBC hase@xxxxxxxx > thanks for you answer. I would be grateful if you allow me to send this > information to the other persons on the kde mailing list. > > I am happy there are names and contacts behind these research (as it should > be), which make me far more responsive and less suspicious. Probably the > same is also true for others, but I can only speak for myself. > > I am happy there are no vested interests, which makes for me and, I > believe, for many others, easier to answer to your questions. You should > have declared the funding bodies in advance, but the important thing is > that we have clarified the point. > > Of course, I am allowed to disagree on some issues, for example the overall > negative layout of the questionnaire (i.e. the questionnaire gives in any > case a final result of degree of dissatisfaction and not of satisfaction, > which are not necessarily related), and the fact that some of the questions > are leading to pre-conditioned answers (focusing the relevance on > malfunctioning). > > I would be happy to receive a copy of the results, if possible. Will you > post them to the list? I will keep in touch, of course, and send my > comments as soon as the results are published. > > Best regards! > > Corrado Topi > Director Of Strategy > -.- > symbulos - ethical services for your organisation > http://www.symbulos.com ___________________________________________________ .
