Ack. (+1, Yes!) :)

Thats a nice idea (Daniel stated some light-version earlier at wiki).

We agree in using visualisations to improve survey-usability.

Asking what they prefer is shortly done (show 3 pics and ask "which do you
like best?"). But asking about pros and cons could be somewhat critical.
Well, I have to be precise, not the asking is critical, but what you
expect as output:
I don't think that the common user will and _can_ reflect pros and cons of
the menu-type that much in terms of usability. For example: You have the
answers that 90% prefer the desktop-theme solution because (pros): Its
common with M$ Windows, they are used to it etc.... (cons): Not good
accessibility, too much overload, small screensize,...

What do you gather from this information? It has to be valueable for our
discussion about menu-type, because  if you give a textfield for giving
pros and cons (open answers) it will cost plenty of time (for users and
analyzers). And doing closed answers here won't help us out (coz we give
some statements and users can only select "our" statements)

There are some kind of questions we (sadly) cannot answer with a survey (I
think). We can ask which type they would prefer. But the question if
menu-type XY is really better than the other in usabiliy-issues won't be
answered this way in my eyes. We should conduct some qualitative tests
afterwards for testing and answering this question.
But well, its more a methodical question here than anything other. :)

> I will. Count me in in conducting the survey and putting it live.
Great! Perhaps we can use survey-extension (I have to say I never saw it
and documentation page is somehow broken).
