5- Someone (Mathew Miller?) saying that Fedora should have something like
this:
http://blog.brackets.io/2015/03/27/introducing-brackets-health-report/
(these are my words, can not find the original message).
So, I was wondering... There is interest in a "Official Fedora Survey 2015"
thing?
Because I can (and I want to) do something about it.
I am thinking in something to expose the concrete needs/difficulties/desires
from real users (especially from those who care) about Fedora (and Linuxes,
and OSes) in a useful, understandable, and more precise way.
If yes, please, say it, so I can show/catch ideas and work on a demo.
And, if not, please, say it too, because I kinda don't want to waste my time
on an useless thing.
Thanks.

I think it's a great idea with one caveat - there's no *dollar* value
attached to Fedora being any better or worse than Ubuntu, openSUSE,
Linux Mint or any other "Linux desktop offering". Ubuntu has a
donation widget on their website where they ask people how much
various new features would be worth.

I think they have the right idea. Instead of a survey, put a page like
this at the download site for Workstation. I'd pay two bucks to
download Fedora Workstation - compared to $160 for Windows 8.1 Pro
it's a no-brainer. If people want media players, let them vote for
them with money. If people want the KDE desktop or the Design spin or
the audio spin or whatever - things they can easily install with the
netinstall disk - let them vote for them with money.
