Previously, I also wrote up an analysis of the results. It is also

Awesome!! I uploaded the files to the wiki and added them to the
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team page
For me the Pain Points and Important Features sections were very
interesting! Thanks for putting this together!! :D
You proposed 3 Major Takeaways:
Users do not understand the design patterns in Sugar. This was
signalled through two methods. Firstly, users prioritised a tour or
explanation as an important feature. Secondly, users expressed
confusion with the interface and frame.
I agree, a tour would be a great activity. When I purchased a new
XO-1 in 2007 and a new XO-4 this year, it came with a little printed
leaflet with some basics; and I think there is an assumption that the
UI is discoverable by kids if they have unrestricted free time to
play and explore it. However I haven't seen any UX-study-style
testing of this assumption.
You might be interested in this blog post that I wrote on the subject:

https://turtle.sugarlabs.org has a welcome tour. Can something like
that be done with PyGTK3?
Developer and deployers have differing opinions compared to students
and teachers; eg. reducing Journal clutter is significantly more
popular with developers and deployers than with students and
educators.
That's interesting! I wonder if students/educators work around
journal clutter, or if they don't consider it to be cluttered at all.
Which deployments can we ask about this?
The most important features to the Sugar community are Browse
activity, the Journal and Turtle Blocks. These are closely followed
by Write activity, Collaboration, the Terminal and the Sugar style
design.
I see that none of these are in the top 20 on
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/browse/type:1/cat:all?sort=popular
I can see how Browse is the most important activity for people who
can be online to take the survey... for deployments without effective
internet access, I wonder if that is still the case.
Cheers
Dave
