Existing OpenOffice.org prompts user after install on whether they wish to participate in the "OpenOffice.org Improvement Program". The dialog says, "If you are willing to participate, we will collect anonymous statistics about how you use OpenOffice.org. This data is used to identify usage patterns".
A few points on this: 1) Where does this data live today? What server? 2) This data likely has some value to the project. Is it coming to Apache? If so, we need a plan for determining whether this data needs to be treated as sensitive. For example, did it collect IP addresses? 3) As part of the transition to Apache, will the collection point for this data be moving to a different address? If so, what effect does that have on legacy installations of OOo? Will it slow them down? Cause a time out error for the user? Or is it handled silently and with no user impact? 4) Does any of this impact the privacy policy for the project that is currently being drafted?
