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.
