Does it matter how many people do it? :)  The more people we can get, the 
better.  If you can, videotape the evaluation as well.

Every time we do an evaluation with a new user we can get more information.  
It would be better still to be able to evaluate individual applications and 
their most common tasks as well, in addition to "KDE" as a whole.  For 
example, we can get a user in KMail to create a POP3 mail account, send mail, 
receive mail, edit settings, and then change the customization of their 
windows.  You would watch them carefully and see where they "stumble" on.

I would love to see the results of your study!
