UUsability.gov Post Release Feedback Survey Draft v1
2013

Introduction
Usability.gov, the leading resource for user experience (UX) best practices and guidelines, serving practitioners and students in the government and private sectors, has recently been relaunched. The site provides overviews of the user-centered design process  and various UX disciplines. It also covers the related information on methodology and tools for making digital content more usable and useful.
Since the cornerstone of User Experience is gathering feedback from members of your audience we would appreciate learning from you what you like, dislike or would like to see added or changed on the site.  
This survey will take less than 10 minutes and your responses and comments are encouraged and welcome.
Thank you in advance for your time.
