Hi,

Given that no plan has been presented about how this is intended to work in 
terms of backend or API scope, I stand with my -1 for a qt/ or qt-creator/ 
repo. If there exists no plan yet but the desire to experiment, then I'm with 
Pasi here and would suggest a repository in the playground scope. I think 
either analytics or telemetry make sense to have in the name. Firebase for 
example uses the term analytics in their API and Mozilla uses the term 
telemetry for the service of collecting performance and usage info for Firefox.

Hi,



Repos can be relocated to new homes if really needed, but I think it’s fair to 
say more generic location is definitely preferred from Qt 3D Studio point of 
view.



To make this even easier I’d even start with a playground repo if nothing else 
can be found. Qt has always been (despite our vocal and sometimes a bit harsh 
dialogue) inclusive, so it should be fine to go and experiment with all things 
UI related. Just to see if something is worth the effort or not.



Regards,

Pasi

If that is the case, then qt-creator/telemetry is the wrong repository to ask 
for. If you are aiming at something generic, then it should be qt/

Hi,



The idea is to develop a generic library/plugin, which anyone could use for 
analytics. The backend can be any storage and The Qt Company does not provide 
that.



We plan to use the same backend, which we already use in online installers to 
collect statistics about installations. At least in case of Qt Creator, the 
plan is to make some analysis results available for the community. Obviously, 
we do not do that for our commercial tooling.



Analytics is opt-in and disabled by default in Qt Creator. We plan to ask user 
in the installer, if the user wish to participate in Qt UX improvement. If the 
answers is no, the analytics plugin is never installed.  When the creator is 
started for the first time, it will show a dialog, consisting a list of 
collected data items and an option to enable/disable the plugin. There will be 
a new output pane, which shows collected data, conversions methods, if any 
used, and transmitted data to the user.

Hi,



Can you provide a bit more information about how this plugin / frontend fits 
into the Qt project? Where is the collected data sent to and how is it 
accessible to the community?



(-1 from me, as I think this needs to be clarified)



Simon

Hi,



+1 for creating the repo, but what about qt/qtanalytics as a name? This item 
could be useful also for other applications.



Yours,

Description:



Telemetry plugin (frontend) to collect usage data from Qt Creator to help 
improving Qt, Qt features, and Qt tools.

Non-personal data items, such as duration the user spent in design mode, will 
be collected in a way, which is completely transparent to the user.
