Morning Thomas
It's midnight here around ;-)
That's the pessimistic view. I (and yes, my personal opinion
;-) only want the
email address of the people that are interested in what we're
doing and about
news of the software they use.
I don't question the offer to send out status mails to users, but I worry about
how to ask for this.
Opt-in (as Albert suggested) is totally fine, but if you're asking for a mail address in an
"aggressive" manner, that has a large potential to scare useres off. ("datamining", our
audience is unlikely the "hello kitty, i click everything" fraction)
Maybe just a matter of how you ask, but the user certainly should have the
chance to skip for now and opt-in later.
If "give us your email" had been my first contact with KDE, i'd probably be
using E19 right now.
I think I wrote above why I think the dot is not the best thing for some of
our users.
Sure. The point was rather about push ./. (anonymous) pull, not the actual
content source.
Cheers,
Thomas
