It would be voluntary to download the module in the first place so not
necessary to be able to 'turn off'.

Cheers,
Dean

Anonymous statistics take bandwidth and resources, not to mention
may be a security risk (you never know how people may use sniffed
data!). If you add a statistics module to *, please make sure there
is an easy way to TURN IT OFF... Razz

What would be the benefit of having it on, anyway?

Thanks!

Ok guys I'm only going to leave this survey up for a few
more days;



Click this link and answer what you think - it's only 4
questions and
will take you less than 30 seconds to answer.

http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=954613



Lets support the Asterisk community and get an honest
opinion on what
people think about anonymous statistics.



Cheers,
Dean

servers?

I think it would be great for someone to write a small
'anonymous collection module' that an Asterisk
sys-admin could download
and install on their asterisk server which uploaded the
stats to a
community website where the data was anonymous but still
valuable for
the community.



Even if it just collected number of new installations
globally
this would be a huge help to people selling asterisk to
their customers
who continually ask "I've heard about this
Asterisk open source stuff
but how many are there installed globally anyway?"



So this survey is to gauge the community's reaction to
the
development of an analytics tool like this. Please answer
with your
honest thoughts so we can gauge demand within the community
for this
tool.



If people respond to this survey and show interest in
sharing
their information with the community then something
we'll put together a
working group to establish design parameters etc but for
the moment just
go here and vote if you think this is a good idea or not



http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=954613



Remember this Asterisk community analytics tool will only
collect anonymous information.



Potential analytics may include - eg. How many ip handsets
does
your Asterisk server have connected, but it will never
collect their IP
addresses or personal information/passwords etc. You will
be able to see
what information is being collected in a text file before
it uploads and
will be able to control all stats it collects.







Cheers,

I think adoption would be higher if it could create a web page showing
stats that the customer would be interested in -- like a graph of
concurrent calls for each minute in a day. Sort of a "carrot" to encourage
sharing.

Counting installations that don't want to report stats would also be
interesting.

Thanks in advance,

Even "scrubbed" anonymous data has been able to be used in ways that
really don't make it anonymous. When Netflix offered $1m to anyone who
could improve their movie recommendations, they released a large amount of
what they believed was scrubbed, anonymous data. Turns out, it wasn't so
anonymous.

I decidedly would not participate.
