Hi People

I did 5 years of user studies for the, as far as I know, dead distro Ark Linux (my fav of all distro, so its very depressing).

The studies ranged from usability, initial impact (how a user responded during the first 1 hour of exposure to a new distro), installation ease or difficulty, kmenu construction, "user" menus and more.

The purpose of these studies where to create a distro that users could call their own (rather than dealing with all the nonesense distro do to their releases to customize them, most of which is undone anyway), but was easy to use and understand, customizable to the USER's needs, not the devels person preferences.

Logic is key here. It isn't about 1 person's POV, its about the commonalities among them.

Would this project be interested in any of this?

It would be easy for me to recreate the study in about month (everything is already setup and the users (ranging from 40 to 70 volunteers, ages range 4 YO to 96 YO) have been through the paces, but are still noobie class users.

Please be advised I instructed the volunteers to be brutally honest (and bloody hell were they). So please take the results with a grand of salt, should this distro be interested in such a study.

Thanks,

Kate Draven
