Like..."most difficult" compared to what? Seems like the most direct comparison would be any other set of plans that are provided so that a person can build something from scratch, with no parts being provided along side the plans. But that would require that the person had done something like that in the past. Maybe the rating can be something more objective. For example, "Were you ever confused as to what the next step in the process was?" or "Were there grammatical errors in the instructions?" or "Did you ever have to search for the specifications you needed?" or "Were any of the descriptions/illustrations ambiguous?" etc. - Matt 31JAN2012


This is a good beginning for a really important aspect of making the Open Source model work. Yay!

We shouldn't encourage the user to describe experience with more than one machine replication on a single form, i.e. dump the plural option in
What machine(s) have you replicated?
Perhaps add:
What other GVCS machines have you replicated (if any)? (Please use a separate feedback form for each replication)

I have no problem with the radio buttons 1-5 in difficulty, but there should definitely also be a text box for feedback on the documentation quality (i.e. specific issues and how it could be improved).

I'd suggest a box for something like
Did you intentionally make any changes/improvements, if so why, and did they work well/achieve your objectives?
