- Topic: Poll users for Sailfish OS upgrade experience
- Some details about the topic: As users tend to write more about issues than successes about a Sailfish OS release in its release notes thread (Vanha Rauma is the prime example), the majority about posts tend to be negative. This can be off-putting to cautious users, as the thread seems to be mostly about issues. To combat this, and to help everyone get more realistic picture about a software update, I suggest that a standard poll is added to release notes to see how the update went. It should probably separate the early access phase and the final release, so two polls could possibly be held side by side. As an example, Manjaro Linux, which I use, has this practice[1]. I like to pop in and leave a vote after an update, and from my own experience, it works well for both the community and the devs.
- Approx. time needed: 10min
- Substitute (optional): I won’t be able to attend due to work meeting. No substitute is needed, I’m sure there will be a fruitful discussion anyway.
