Discussion: PyCon 2020 UX research plan

[ei8fdb]

Subject says it all -

Please use this issue to discuss the PyCon UX research plan.

After discussions with techalchemy on IRC, I've also added a question about allowing people to talk about things they wish pip did.

Note that I don't think that we'd be in a situation where we'd not have any topics proposed. Worst case, the organizers will come up with a few themselves prior to the vote, if there aren't enough topics.

@ei8fdb Another question that has just come up in a TensorFlow discussion is: if you are unable to upgrade pip, why is that?

There's probably a better way to phrase that. The reason we're asking is: there are many people who say that they cannot upgrade pip. Sometimes that's because they are in some kind of very controlled IT environment (perhaps in a military base). Sometimes that is because of reasons we don't yet understand (operating system limitation? broken package manager? upgrading pip would break something else?).
