I'm looking at the evolt.org 2001 Survey Results for WE0:

http://members.evolt.org/djc/evolt/survey/Summary_sect3.html


BTW, for those not aware, WRT = with regard/respect to. And BTW = by the
way. (happy Madhu?! ;p)

>From question 11 results, do you think it's safe to assume that our redesign
plans should cater, primarily, for people who visit around once every 3-10
days (average of once a week)?

>From question 12 results, is it safe to assume that WRT content, we need to
encourage how-to articles firstly, and also make WEO a good resource for
opinion and also the place to go to find out what's happening* on the Web
which would be useful to web developers?

WRT to question 14, and some of its responses, we might look to provide
information on why rating articles is useful for everyone. Also, provide
more differentiation between the article body and the other elements
(ratings, comments, etc). Agreed?

WRT to question 17, we might like to point out that many emails to thelist
are a great basis for an article. It can be hard to sit down and write an
article, but it's very easy to start an email to thelist and have it end up
as a comprehensive tutorial or rant! We might want to make a defined effort
to step up our "This would make a great article!" offlist emailing... It
seems that time is the primary factor WRT article submission.


Thoughts?

* I have long thought that our News category should be restructured, perhaps
into something more blog-styled, so as to encourage more snippets for
regular uses of evolt.org. It may become an opportunity for people to
contribute, despite not having the time to write up a full, feature article.
It's probably a bit hard to explain, but I look forward to coming up with a
design concept that shows everyone what I mean.
