SoU Survey is Live

[Julia Haines]

Hi Developers,

As promised, Gallery's 2009 Season of Usability user survey is up and running. Now we need your participation!

A bit of background:
The purpose of Gallery's SoU project is to learn more about Gallery users (and potential users). So, in order to understand our users and their motivations for using Gallery, we are trying to understand how and why people use photo management tools in general and what's important to them when using these tools. We want to know their motivations, their tasks, and what qualities they find most desirable in using photo management software, with the ultimate goal of understanding why our users choose Gallery, how they use it, and how we can continue to improve to meet their needs. 

We'd really appreciate your participation. The survey should only take a few minutes; you can access it here:

http://survey.usability-methods.com/beta/survey/6720c12644b9439abea48f335b058779/

We're trying to get as large a response as possible, so please help to spread this survey on to all the photo people you know! Feel free to use the template below. Thanks!

Cheers,

Julia

Subject: Share your opinions to help improve open source photo sharing software 

Dear [Group/Name]:

Here at Gallery (the open source online photo sharing software) we've been working hard to better understand how and why people share their photos online, and what's important to them in choosing a method to share photos. We want to know people's motivations, their tasks, and what qualities they find most desirable in using photo management software, so that we can continue to meet our users' needs.

Help us understand how photos play a part in your life, and how and why you share them. Your feedback will help us continue to improve Gallery in it's next release and beyond. The survey should only take a few minutes and you can access it here:

http://survey.usability-methods.com/beta/survey/6720c12644b9439abea48f335b058779/

Your opinion will make a big difference in helping to understand photo sharing in general and in improving the open source Gallery software specifically.

Thank you in advance,

[Your Name]

P.S. Gallery 3.0 will be released soon, and will be easier, smaller, faster, more usable, and fun to customize.  We invite you to learn more here.
