Grant,
Thanks for looking into this and providing the estimate. This will of
course need to be prioritized along with everything else in the 1.0
queue. I knew it had been under discussion before but I didn't
remember it went that far back :-). I suspect that we had always
thought of it from the perspective of an end-user feature and not for
gathering metrics. Yes, we would need an opt-out for people, I meant
to mention that in my original post.
Cheers,
Sheila

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?
