Agreed. Also, I'd like to point out that the results will be
interpreted and explained by someone (Bj=F6rn) who knows how to do that,
and will instruct us in how to take the best advantage out of them. So
it's not just a random user study done by $developer which is likely
to be interpreted in the wrong way.

Sorry to say that, but this seems (yet again) much ado about nothing,
and most of all (reason why I care) slowing down a very useful thing
for the sprint, putting focus on pointless discussions instead of
getting the actual job done. I seriously doubt anyone in this list is
more knowledgeable than Bj=F6rn over this topic, so as I said in the
other mail: PLEASE put some trust on your bros (because we're striving
for the same things), especially if they have a track record of
competency, getting things done, and dedication to KDE.

Back on topic: overall, I just went through the survey and it looks
good to me, can't wait until it goes online. Will try my best to
spread it everywhere I can.
