Beta Survey
The purpose of having a beta release of 4.1 is to gather feedback from
users. Reports to Bugzilla or the mailing list is one source of
feedback. But that doesn't give us a good sense of coverage. If
there were no beta testers of the Bulgarian translation (for example)
then we'd probably want to take a closer look, at that specific
package.
I'm putting together a beta survey that we can have beta testers fill
out, to record their testing experience. I'm thinking of questions
like:
1) What platform they ran with
2) What language they used
3) How many hours they have used AOO beta
4) Which apps did they use
5) What file formats did they read/write
6) Link to a list of P1 bugs reported on beta: Did they encounter
any of these bugs?
7) Did they encounter any other bugs? (Nudge them to enter a BZ report)
8) Did they try any of the new features in AOO 4.1 (list them)
9) Any other comments (free text response)
Does anyone have any other suggested questions?
The plan would be to send out the survey early next week, before the
beta period is done, so we can react to any feedback.

I apologize in advance if my English is not perfect or too elementary.
I installed the BETA version three days ago and I'm using it instead of
the version 4.0.1
Using two components in Writer and Calc MSOffice-compatible format.
The overall impression is good. No crash. It is slightly faster than the
previous one. Let's move on to the list.
1) Platform Vindows pro 8.1 64bit, updated March 13, 2014
2) Italian language
3) about 8 hours a day.
4) writer and calc
5) format. Doc and. Xls
6) no bugs
7) no
8) no. I need to retrieve the list
9) during installation copied bad three extensions (two epub converters
and one dictionary), taking outdated versions. You did not copy the
customizations made. It has taken some personal definitions deleted.
Apart from that there were no problems. Only doubt. Version 4.0.1 has
abnormal behavior. It does not recognize the language and reports errors
even where there are not. I also tried the REPAIR option without success.

For me, the proposed list is exhaustive. I'm using the beta version
without any problems.
I have no other additional questions

My question was not very clear. Sorry. This note was not a survey.
It was asking for feedback on what questions we should ask on a
survey. The questions I have here were proposed questions. If we can
reach consensus on this I can code the survey into our LimeSurvey
instance and we can collect this information from users of the public
beta.

0) How did you hear about the beta?
10) What other versions are installed on your PC along with this beta?
11) What changes relative to beta do you expect to see in the release candidate?
12) What is the next appropriate release (4.1.1 / 4.2 / 5)?

It was asking for feedback on what questions we should ask on a
survey. The questions I have here were proposed questions. If we can
reach consensus on this I can code the survey into our LimeSurvey
