What Questions are Worth Asking Emacs-Newcomers?

[Philip Kaludercic]

Hi,

I'll be giving an Emacs workshop at a small local hacker conference, and
it seemed like a interesting opportunity to gather some feedback from
people of different backgrounds to what their impressions, interests and
difficulties are in an anonymous way (pen and paper + talking and
listening).

I have a rough idea of what I might want to ask (basic demographic
stuff, personal/technical background, what interests them about Emacs,
what was off-putting, etc.), but I was wondering if someone had any
specific ideas of what would be interesting to gather some first-hand
experience on how people interact with Emacs?

It might also be interesting to have some kind of a standard form that
we could add under etc/ in case anyone wants to repeat the same
experiment in the future.
