1) Can you locate the search

As long as they are adequately tarred and feathered first.

In other words, the only people who we want to report things they can't get to work are people who know how to work around things that don't work the intuitive way, and probably won't take the time to report the things for that reason?

There's a comedy skit in here somewhere. I mean, what if Satan decided he/she wanted to be a Maemo Greeter:

"I see from your idiotic question, and this being your first post that you must be running for F*cktard President. Welcome! And don't forget to visit our popular 'Buy and Sell' section. We only use the best in Nigerian escrow services. Finally, would you mind taking a quick survey? We're always trying to improve forum quality, but it just doesn't work without user feedback. We know surveys can sometimes be inconvenient with a busy schedule, so thank you very much for your time. Here we go: Since you are obviously too much of an a*shole to use search, please describe how you found us?"

Needless to say I don' personally agree with that quote...

I lol'd

Might I add to that questionnaire:
"If you find a bug, please follow the procedure below;

- Are you part of the 95% of the customers we don't want to hear from?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

IF yes - then please leave and shut up.
If no - please proceed to bugzilla.

Do you understand how to enter a bug report?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

IF yes - congratulations. We won't tell you when it will be resolved or if, but please keep buying products running on this OS - and continue to support our community. I'll mark some of your posts with "Thanks". Karma is serius bizns.
.
If no - please leave and shut up. Don't question it.

Okay, as some people obviously don't get that this is satire, here it is explicitly:

Obviously a test like this is ludicrous and self-destructive. No sane person could seriously propose a test like this.

The point I'm making is that anything which requires prior knowledge is effectively acting like a test. The obscurity and lack of user-friendliness in maemo.org and Bugzilla is acting like a test. The contempt for casual users by certain individuals on this forum is acting like a test.

The whole future of Maemo as a device platform depends on casual users buying Maemo devices. We need them, so we ought to be thinking a lot about their needs.
