I don't think we should be collecting that kind of information... that is sensitive information which not only difficult to collect/detect as well as justify. For the time being, lets focus on collecting server information. The reason I think we should periodically check is so we can see how systems are evolving over time – down the line, we would be able to see as PHP is updated and other things. Once a month seems like a reasonable polling frequency to me. I think we should make every effort to keep things anonymous: ideally, there should be no identifiable information sent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
