Hello,
My question is about the attitude of making changes to Ubuntu. Most
replies start with "Users don't want to", "Most users won't do that",
"This will make users confused". How do you have such information? My
proposal is to make a "Ubuntu poll" application that will gather
opinion from users (NOT requiring a Launchpad account). What do you
think about it? I am a python programmer, I can make such an app.
You get such data by collecting a number of different users and testing
the software on them in a controlled manner. A web poll is not useful
because people will be driven by preconceptions and emotion instead of
actually analysing what they're doing. For example, I got really upset
when the window buttons were moved. I mean, I got enraged. It was
completely irrational, and when the rage settled, I just started using
the software and it was no problem at all. I would've voted against the
best solution out of fear of change. That's a _very_ bad thing to base
decisions on.
Science is the best tool. Ever.
