I am very much in favor of including this as and opt-in option during the installer. I disagree with Chris - one should be able to opt-out of this later on in the options page. The polling frequency should be relatively infrequent (once a month?). One point to make here is that useful things like several of the request-related / script-related $_SERVER variables would change from user-to-user. Half the value here would also be the ability to isolate odd cases such as proxies in this data. That's where we really get into paranoia land - when we start sending info about visitors to a blog too. In any event, that's the kind of thing that would make this a regular event, rather than a one-time phpinfo() dump type thing. 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
