I'm not a specialist on these things but I think for an Apache project you want opt-in, especially now that GDPR is with us. It's fine to beg the user to opt in, in a friendly way, but for me that must be an explicit agreement - maybe linked to the useful update features which bring actual value to the user. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
