Re: [uug] sss cd -- a call for volunteers

[D. Turnbull]

It's not particularly that I like or dislike installers, it's that 
having an installer is the type of behaviour expected by your every-day 
windows user. The target audience, as I have been able to identify it, 
is not particularly technically minded, so it's important that software 
on the disc behave according to certain norms.

I've tried to make most decisions about the disc based on who I perceive 
the target audience to be -- but, truthfully, most of my evidence about 
who comprises that group is purely anecdotal. I don't even attend BYU (I 
finished there in 1997) -- most of my interaction with students is 
through UVSC or the school district where I work -- so it's possible I 
have an incomplete understanding of our audience. One of the things that 
would be beneficial for this project is to develop a structured method 
of defining the preferences of our audience as they related to the 
functions of the disc -- but it's something that we haven't really done yet.

Any market-research experts out there care to volunteer?
