nice !
It very close do with "DBBG"
- download
- burn
- boot
- Give  Feedback

For 8 people I asked, after 4 days:
- 2 not heard from again (I will ask later)
- 1 I asked status => burned but not booted jet. 
- 1 I asked status 

He opinion:
- maybe 3rd world but not here, 
- can't find the wifi settings. 
- Abiword is too limited

Maye I should add tasks like,
- Getting language settings
- Getting wifi/network to work
- Like browsing http://sugarlabs.org 
- opening a chat 
- more?

More findings:
- asking in 1:1 setting very effective
- asking in chat setting rather effective
- asking by email => not really working
- asking to mailinglist => not working


kind regards,
Marten
