Just my $0.02, I think this is where we should look into crowd sourcing and/or user contributions to get this data. Sure, mass harvesting of user agent data is a really good option, but obviously the sources are limited to non existent. I think a better option would be to allow for someone to say: hey, here is a subset of user agents which aren't working or here is a few new phones which aren't being detected properly.
So if this is an approach we think is useful, then I think we need to invest some effort into building out some sort of user website submission workflow. I laid out some very *basic* code to do this several months ago using Java, Spring, Hibernate, mySQL. Thoughts on this? ________________________________ From: eberhard speer jr. <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 11:56 AM Subject: Re: user-agents - urgent appeal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have opened a discussion with [email protected] to find out whether we can get access to the Apache logs to extract user-agents for our test-data. I will keep you advised accordingly. Stefano, any chance of OpenDDR sharing the user-agents used for creating the builder-data with us and including them in future versions of the XML resources ? esjr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJR3DKlAAoJEOxywXcFLKYcruMIANIeILsVS8RLgD8U1O2QJDkw zpIUevnhA3dPTli+mWkVx0NMBwb+IslR97QkexzHC+UF6zQT4VvI13IA/+kcK7m/ OJ9lr5moxGGmLgWFg4ct+4aqZOeYrk7jtJiY0azsoqr38A+HtyKMKsbKDkIKLHry puvp5zgw7bX8evTcpoHAEbg8mDu2nTWnn+JqTQgJCB5f+riemdK3xlBR1Xt7SdLD O4WcAIrIFhQktZWOt9UTTTmzMDYZrd21ukC2r8st81haiLWRnJP0LAW0qhihfISE qQVIKf+SN5aeCLCia1Zssr8L4sVANPa+4vf04dqdK55oAIziDBYvMQuYY3xwk70= =/93s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
