</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Reading Olav's last 2 paragraphs (especially the one where he only wants
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> feedback from &quot;the people from the mailing list instead of all users&quot;)
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> tells something, I wonder how those other users in the forum will take
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> that. But that's not my turf (not any more).
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Not wishing to take any sides in this, I think you have misunderstood
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> what
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Olav wrote and derived the wrong conclusion from it.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> He wants feedback about something but only from users of the mailing
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> list and not from all users. I wonder what I could have misunderstood
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> in this sentence. I may understand what he means (something like:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> users of this list are better suited to give usable feedback). But
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> unfortunately Mageia users are ALL users so you have to deal with all
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> users, calling for feedback from a certain group only (especially if
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> it is probably the smaller part) is wrong - that's what I did wrong
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> initially with the poll in the forum and that's why I extended the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> call for the poll to the mailing list. I expect developers to have
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> this insight as well.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> As I read it, he finds the poll itself too vague to be of much use to him
</I>&gt;<i> (personally), and would love to hear on concrete things that can be improved
</I>&gt;<i> upon.
</I>
No problem, he is free to start polls he may find more useful and
ignore this one. And certainly I do not deny him his opinion how
usefui or useless this poll is to him.

&gt;<i> Such feedback *can* come from just discussion on this list, not
</I>&gt;<i> *should* / *must*. I understood this to mean that we don't have to actively
</I>&gt;<i> reach out to *everyone* and that a smaller list of concrete points of
</I>&gt;<i> improvement might be a good starting point.
</I>
Yes to the &quot;smaller list of concrete points&quot; - that will be a
different poll then. I chose to start a poll about the more general
picture. Also &quot;Yes&quot; to the selection of a certain group of users if
the topic of the poll only concerns this certain group, like &quot;Should
we switch back to sysvinit or go on with systemd?&quot; (just an example)
because this would be better discussed in a technical interested group
of users. But a definite &quot;No&quot; to leaving out a large part of users in
polls about general matters, which is what I started and what is
discussed here.

&gt;<i> I don't think Olav said or suggested in any way that the opinion of users on
</I>&gt;<i> this list is of greater value or importance to him than that of users who
</I>&gt;<i> only read and write on the forum.
</I>
If meant as I wrote in the previous paragraph then I agree. But then
it is not relevant for this poll.
