Re: [Ayatana] Ayatana dev list - attitude

I very appreciate the spirit of this post, more data is always welcome! ;)

It would be good, though, if we could have better data. Opt-in mechanisms unfortunately compromise quite a lot the data, not everyone, or more importantly not every kind of person, would make their voice heard. It has been a few cycles where we are trying to introduce analytics inside Ubuntu. As you can imagine it might require some time but that would definitely be a better approach.

Very recently I wanted to know how many people were actually using the audio boost functionality in the Sound Settings and I was thinking about putting a poll online as well. I think the important is to reach the most assorted group of people, so maybe more than a tool we need support from Loco's. What do you think?

Thanks a lot, chr

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.

Best regards,
Tomasz Sałaciński
