Hi :)
The questions in the survey cover a lot of that. Even if you don't think you contribute much then
it's still worth starting to fill it in. It is likely that you underestimate how much you
contribute so let the form be the judge of whether you do enough to be able to make sensible
answers.
Some of the questions seemed to have certain assumptions about why you might agree, or disagree
with that particular question but then a subsequent question would often allow me "to set the
record straight" or at least push it in the right direction a bit.
Kinda reminded me of a meeting where an intellectual voted in favour of an amendment, which got
accepted but then he voted against the main proposal (which also passed which upset him a little).
People were completely baffled about his actions until they really thought about it.
Regards from
Tom :)

Most studies about desktop users are funded by MS. It's pretty rare to see one that mentions
OpenSource at all. Mysteriously, the ones that get published tend to favour MS, so it's really
quite amazing to find one that might be independent and might even discover some truths. So, I
think anyone that can take the survey might well be helping both us and the people doing the
survey.

It doesn't take long to complete the survey and it can be done in chunks quite easily. I think
we should support it so i am forwarding it to another couple of lists. It's interesting that
their definition of 'newcomer' (they mean someone in LO around 2 years or less) covers just
about everyone using LO. I wasn't in OpenOffice.org but i get the impression that there are
significant differences in infrastructure, attitudes and approach. Also their definition of
"member" is a lot more open than TDF's so if
you are not officially a member then you can probably still fill it in.
Remember that you must be a contributor though. A user who just asks
questions on the user forum should not fill out the survey. If you
regularly help others on the user forum, I would say you're easily a
contributor, but a person who only asks a question here or there,
probably shouldn't fill out the survey

Joel
