I know a lot of people here don't follow the issue tracker, so I'm posting this here too, as I'd like some community input. Feel free to respond either here or on the issue tracker. The relevant issue is http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3359.
The basic issue is that the "recent searches" feature of SymPy Live is not being used. I know this because all but two of the top searches are from me. The reason for this is that it is disabled by default. For those of you who don't know, if enabled, the recent searches box at live.sympy.org shows the ten most recent searches of everyone, globally. Here are the basic issues: - The option to enable this feature is called just "Privacy". It doesn't explain what it does, so I think that even people who look through the settings and wouldn't mind this setting don't enable it because they don't know what it means and it sounds bad. So we need to come up with some text that explains what the feature is. - The name "recent searches" isn't very accurate, as the inputs are not really searches. This is a minor issue, though. What is a more accurate name than "searches"? - The real issue here, though, is that even if we fix the names, I still don't think many people would use the feature, simply because most people don't even look at settings, much less change the defaults. So the question is, should we enable this by default? I think at the very least we should enable executions from the Sphinx extension, since there is really not privacy issue there.
