GNOME user survey 2011

[Felipe Contreras <felipe contreras gmail com>]

Hi,

Last time I suggested something like this the response was not so
great, but lately I've feeling that there's a lot of dissatisfaction
with GNOME 3. Why not find for good what people are thinking with an
user-survey?

I looked around for different online survey sites and unfortunately
many have many limitations, but questionpro.com seems to have support
for free surveys with unlimited amount of responses, which is
presumably what we would want to get the maximum amount of feedback.

Many of these are borrowed from the Git user survey. The results as
you can see, can be quite interesting:

It would be great if some sort of notification would popup directly on
user's desktops, this way it can ensured that the maximum amount of
people are notified. Otherwise, I think planet GNOME, reddit, twitter,
Google+ and so on should give plenty of feedback. Maybe also contact
Ars Technica, LWN, Phornix, and so on would help.

Here's my current proposal, I tried to make it as small as possible
while keeping important information, it should take a bit more than a
minute to complete. What do you think?

=== 05. How do you compare the current GNOME version with the version
from one year ago? ===
(single choice)
