I'm looking into feedback to see if this is really necessary, as the only remotely revealing thing we collect is the URL, which is on the form itself. The rest of the info is nothing remotely risky. In fact, every website you visit collects it.Summary: * please provide a simple preview of what data will be sent.
I'm am seriously considering putting all "behind login" reports under password though. Still debating a bit.
* Suggestion of ways to omit or edit data is not planned, understood.No, we won't allow omitted data. Either participate and help, or don't. We respect users either way. The goal here is to keep this data virgin. When we let users touch it, we loose accuracy. This hurts the process.
This is part of why the bugzilla evangelism project is so slow. Half the reports contain inaccurate or incomplete data. There quite a few lurking there. Not that they are bogus reports... but they aren't complete/correct enough to act on.
A report submitted by this utility should be easy to validate. We make it so that even the most basic user can help us and submit the best report ever... in under 30 seconds.
I'd rather have users not participate, then get useless data floating around. Incomplete/modified reports aren't useful to us. They can acutually be harmful by skewing the data incorrectly.
Remember: rule #1 about research is to keep as many controls as possible. Don't leave things to chance. When you take a medical sample, the instruments are all sterile. This way only the sample is examined.
We need purity. That's what we are going to get.
* Suggestion of site count/rank reward for submitted data is not planned, understood.
Nor will this likely ever happen. Besides for giving a bad impression to the casual user due to misunderstanding what they see. We run into the issue of extra load. We have to then take the data, and query/count. That's more work for the database. Then the data has to be sent back and displayed.
We want the server to be as fast as possible. Those extra queries (most people won't even read them) will just be thrown out.
Anyone curious can just visit the reporter site and query. _______________________________________________ mozilla-layout mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-layout
