We have set up the questionnaires for six developers, is it three and
not six active members? If that is the case, it is OK, but we then need
to know which users that is. Currently we have set questionnaires up
ready for all six developers listed on SourceForge, but if the other
three are inactive, we can remove them. Please reply as soon as possible
as to whether we should include all six or tell us which three we should
narrow it to.
(We are starting to send out invitations to the first questionnaire
round tonight.)

If I understand you correctly, this is something we will have to get
back to when we have had time to analyze the data. You will certainly
get
some feedback, but we cannot make any promises regarding how much
feedback we can give, due to the volume and workload of the study.

Another issue is how deeply we can present results to the team while
keeping trust with the individual participant. All the data will be
confidential, but if ALL from your group agree to have the results
presented to the other team members, we can be fairly open with the
results.

I am not sure I understand what you mean here. Would you like us to
present a quality certificate that say that we are qualified to do this
kind of testing, or would you like us to certify your group?

The system we are using is a Norwegian version of the established SYMLOG
system. Our guiding professor is certified to do this type of analysis.
