I'd like to be able to retrieve some (anonymous, sure) informations about real installations (to be able to improve the plugin). Is there any standard Jenkins feature or even guidelines for plugin developers about that? Obviously, there's already some kind of feedback sent to create statistics, but that might not be extendable for that kind of need.
It's certainly a nice idea -- as a plugin developer, it would be helpful to see which features people are using, or which job types they use the plugin in conjunction with, etc..
However, I don't know of any plugin that does this, or that there are any APIs to allow for this. Only the core of Jenkins currently reports anonymous usage statistics.
As you mention, it may be tricky to implement, at least for privacy reasons. I wonder if anybody else has any thoughts..?
