Hey Nathan, I'd like to try to enable some privacy-preserving tracking on the Guardian Project F-Droid repo. Looks like logging was turned off August 19, 2014. What do you think about turning on the Apache logging again, but only keeping the logs for one day?
For the F-Droid repo, there would be a cron'ed script that would take just what was downloaded and what time. I'm tempted to also convert the IP address to a country, and store that. Rounding off the time to the day seems like a nice balance of useful info without giving away too much. That eliminates the rich time-of-day metadata, e.g. night, morning, lunchtime, etc. But maybe rounding to the week would be better since that would also eliminate info about the weekly cycle (e.g. downloads on Friday evening are not likely to come from an orthodox Muslim, or Saturday for an orthodox Jew; then there are holidays, etc.). .hc -- PGP fingerprint: EE66 20C7 136B 0D2C 456C 0A4D E9E2 8DEA 00AA 5556 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xE9E28DEA00AA5556 _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: guardian-dev-unsubscr...@lists.mayfirst.org
