There is a simple possibility of not just doing one whole large survey but a smaller one, then increasing in size ones. As we want to know what we should be looking into, i.e. what people want from a desktop which can be a multiple choice of say three, "for example, this would target general people who use Computers": What do you want from you Computing Environment? Tick any Two X Easy and Fully Configurable Environment X Performance and not a Memory Hog X Regular Updates, Security Fixes on the fly (Safe Environment) X Simply Layed out to get the Job Done I am not saying these are the questions to be asked, and they are very formal. However these questions could relate to features on ever gnome, kde or what ever. Then doing another survey we could ellaboarte in some way on the questions. Really this just gest a starting point of what we want to do next, as currently it is only meetings and stalls in events going up. Also to speed this up "linux magazines" could advertise freely of a site that has a poll on that would allow us to easily collect more data. From all of this we can base our targets, but just make them up might not be as effecting
