Ideally, there would be a separate guide for each of the 4 major desktop spins. I know
how very frustrating it is to be totally new, and the available documentation in front of
me doesn't apply.
I fully understand your point about open ended questions will provide us with more
information. As I said on the wiki, most people are more likely to fill something out if
they never have to take their hand off the mouse. I really like the idea though. When in
doubt, choose both! I think I'll add an "optional" more data field
beside/under each question.

A migration guide is a good idea. What do you want to focus on - the
GNOME desktop environment and general tools or something else? You might
want to talk to pkovar. He is doing some stuff related to GNOME and
would probably be thrilled to hear from you.
Your questions are very good. the only improvement I can see is in
phrasing. I would probably use open questions instead of or in
combination with Yes/No questions to get more detailed information:
"What do you do when you want to find and install a program but do not
know the exact name for? (For example, a program that helps you use your
digital camera)? "
"Are you able to find a replacement for the common programs you are
accustomed to using? How do you go about it?"
