Hi Isabel!

A warm welcome "from the list" to you. Thanks for joining, and thanks to
both Björn and you to support our project and its users!

That's insanely cool :-)

... and if we can help here, please feel free to ask. There is always a
chance that others would benefit from such questions - the software
world is something unique, even more unique is FLOSS, and bit bit unique
(on top) is LibreOffice ;-)

I'd love to help, but besides comments I won't be able to contribute at
the moment. Hmm, wird isn't it? Usually I ask our psychologists at work
if they have hints how I can improve questionnaires and survey design in
general.

Isabel, three question ...

Do you know about the user surveys that have been done at OpenOffice.org
[1]? Some of these surveys and their structure are still online - maybe
helpful to get an idea about their hypothesis and the existing
knowledge. I was - more less than more - part of the team that time.

Since you are a student, is this work related to any university project?
So do these results / methods get published somehow?

Would you (or Björn) feel comfortable to share your efforts with the
rest of the community? I think (community) developers, marketeers, etc.
could learn a lot about the approach.


So, thank you so much for helping us. And if there is anything we can
do ... ping us!

Cheers,
Christoph
