Geekish LOL :)

Back to topic at hand. Are there some efforts from fedora and red hat
that do this? I listen to Novell podcast and I hear there that they
have user usability studies - I think that fedora and rad hat if
aren't doing them already should start doing them ASAP. If there are
such efforts please point me in the right direction because I have a
few ideas and would like to contribute.
