Hi,

At the moment we don't really have a good way to collect any usage
statistics for Apache Beam. Like runner used etc. As many of the users
don't really have a way to report their usecase.
How about if we create a feedback page where users can add their pipeline
details and usecase.
Also, we can start printing the link to this page when user launch the
pipeline in the command line.
Example:
$ python my_pipeline.py --runner DirectRunner --input /tmp/abc

Starting pipeline
Please use http://feedback.beam.org?args=runner=DirectRunner,input=/tmp/abc
Pipeline started
......

Using a link and not publishing the data automatically will give user
control over what they publish and what they don't. We can enhance the text
and usage further but the basic idea is to ask for user feeback at each run
of the pipeline.
Let me know what you think.


Thanks,
Ankur
