Would anyone object if I were to add optional anonymous usage statistics
to Veusz? I think it would be quite nice to know how many people are
using it.
The idea I had in mind would be if the program was used for more than a
few days, it would pop up a dialog box asking whether to send anonymous
statistics.
If so, the program would download a particular web page monthly or every
two weeks. On average, the number of downloads of this page per month
would give some indication of the usage. It might also record the date
of original installation, to get an idea of the time used.
I have some other ideas which might be more controversial:
- Record statistics of plot widget types used - might be helpful to
identify which features are being used
- Record statistics of import data file types
- Record statistics of dialog boxes used
- How often the program is used
Does anyone have any opinions? Is this a good idea? How far should it go?
