We would have to monitor the update check somehow. Of course, I have
no idea what is easy/hard technically. The theory is that if your
application is checking for updates, it means you are running
Chandler. We currently monitor synchs per day on the hub and equate
that to "activity".
It's not too hard to do, even though what you want seems to have been
under discussion since 2004:
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603>
Of course, such a thing could only start happening in 0.7.6, and also
people should probably have some kind of opt-out (for privacy reasons).
Now that I have some idea of the workings of the build system and
various web servers, I think that it wouldn't take more than a couple
of days to get something basic working (a periodic or manual check,
followed by showing a simple dialog if something new is available).
I also have a couple of related (but somewhat different) proposals in
my queue for 1.0:
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11448>
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737>
It might be a good time to review these and figure out exactly what
we'd like to do for 1.0 :).

Not sure if this makes things easier but we could also simply pop up
a dialog letting people know there is an update available and they
could install manually. It would accomplish the same goals as far as
finding out who is running Chandler.
Hi, Sheila
How would that help you distinguish regular users from people who
download, but don't use regularly?
