I must have missed some of the replies as I don't seem to have a lot. 
Perhaps they were sent offlist? My comments may be duplicated in that 
case, but here are my thoughts:

First off, although relatively straightforward, Phil's first draft would 
supply a whole schwack of good information as-is. I wouldn't change a 
whole lot, but if I was going to change some things, it would be these:

1. I would add numbers to each question to facilitate our discussion of 
the questions. It's easier to day "Question 1 might read better this 
way..." rather than "The question about foo might read better this way.."

2. I would pursue which languages non-English Ubuntu users use if they 
answer yes to that question.

3. Same with the language question about system documentation.

4. I think there might be a disconnect in the order of the questions 
which have answers like "[Excellent	Pretty Good	Good enough		Not 
very good		Very bad	Unusable	Never used it]" and questions which have 
answers like "[1 (completely disagree) – 5 (completely agree)]"

In the first case, the 'best' answer will appear on the left and the 
'worst' answer will appear on the right. In the second case, the order 
is reversed in the sense that a 'completely disagree' is probably the 
'worst' answer and a 'completely agree' is probably the 'best' answer. 
Does that make sense?

That's about all I have at the moment, but I think we're off to a really 
good start and can't wait to see it online!

Thanks

Jon
