Agreed. Also, I'd like to point out that the results will be interpreted and explained by someone (Björn) who knows how to do that, and will instruct us in how to take the best advantage out of them. So it's not just a random user study done by $developer which is likely to be interpreted in the wrong way. Sorry to say that, but this seems (yet again) much ado about nothing, and most of all (reason why I care) slowing down a very useful thing for the sprint, putting focus on pointless discussions instead of getting the actual job done. I seriously doubt anyone in this list is more knowledgeable than Björn over this topic, so as I said in the other mail: PLEASE put some trust on your bros (because we're striving for the same things), especially if they have a track record of competency, getting things done, and dedication to KDE. Back on topic: overall, I just went through the survey and it looks good to me, can't wait until it goes online. Will try my best to spread it everywhere I can. > > Cheers, > Marco Martin > _______________________________________________ > Plasma-devel mailing list > Plasma-devel@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
