+1 to playground This is open source... by all means experiment! As long as no laws are being broken and no licenses violated, then if their is an itch... scratch it!
The person who codes decides. We can all judge the results by looking at the code. Useless to have stop energy about a plug-in that does not yet exist. It could be great or it could be a lousy failure, but opening up a playgrounds repo costs no one anything. ________________________________ From: Development <development-bounces+adam.treat=qt...@qt-project.org> on behalf of Simon Hausmann <simon.hausm...@qt.io> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2018 3:00:33 AM To: Pasi Keränen; Tino Pyssysalo; Tuukka Turunen; qt-crea...@qt-project.org; development@qt-project.org Subject: Re: [Development] [Qt-creator] Requesting repository for telemetry plugin in Qt Creator Hi, Given that no plan has been presented about how this is intended to work in terms of backend or API scope, I stand with my -1 for a qt/ or qt-creator/ repo. If there exists no plan yet but the desire to experiment, then I'm with Pasi here and would suggest a repository in the playground scope. I think either analytics or telemetry make sense to have in the name. Firebase for example uses the term analytics in their API and Mozilla uses the term telemetry for the service of collecting performance and usage info for Firefox.

To make this even easier I’d even start with a playground repo if nothing else can be found. Qt has always been (despite our vocal and sometimes a bit harsh dialogue) inclusive, so it should be fine to go and experiment with all things UI related. Just to see if something is worth the effort or not.

The backend can be any storage and The Qt Company does not provide that. We plan to use the same backend, which we already use in online installers to collect statistics about installations. At least in case of Qt Creator, the plan is to make some analysis results available for the community. Obviously, we do not do that for our commercial tooling. Analytics is opt-in and disabled by default in Qt Creator. We plan to ask user in the installer, if the user wish to participate in Qt UX improvement. If the answers is no, the analytics plugin is never installed. When the creator is started for the first time, it will show a dialog, consisting a list of collected data items and an option to enable/disable the plugin. There will be a new output pane, which shows collected data, conversions methods, if any used, and transmitted data to the user. -- Tino On 22/02/2018, 15.26, "Simon Hausmann" <simon.hausm...@qt.io<mailto:simon.hausm...@qt.io>> wrote: Hi, Can you provide a bit more information about how this plugin / frontend fits into the Qt project?
