Just to clarify... 5 emails saying �it�s okay� plus no active complains is a whole different thing than making usability tests with 5 users.
I wish so much I could say that Nautilus rocks, seriously
It�s a pity because the community is putting so much effort on it
Sent today at 10:37 AM chilean time, a few minutes before I sent the mail you are replying to. Same subject as this mail. For completeness, here is the content:
For what it's worth: this was asked on the users list (some months ago). There were about 5 replies and they were positive. I do not recall having any negative replies.
I think that asking much more than that is hard, given the nature of mailing lists and the comity being busy with many other things.
Also, having learned about user studies and performed a few (for this "science" thing I'm supposed to be doing), I can tell you that getting a really representative group of users together is nearly impossible in the scenario we are in. So anything you can get out of an inquiry will just be 'some people say: OK'. Nothing is guaranteed about other people. Which is just what is happening here ! ;-)

Time to be skeptic. Test.
Test with someone else. Tests it with 5 guys and ask how they feel about it.
Hear.
