Re: Seeking Online Help Surveys Advice

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

I would expect surveying users about online help to generate little or
no useful information.

Putting the help on a web server and so I could see how people
actually use it would be very valuable. The one time I surveyed
customers about online help it was about precisely that issue, whether
any of them would have had a problem if we moved the help from the
product to a web server. 100% said they would not.
