-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I do not know whether DeviceMap should 'release' test data like official releases. Maintaining a collection of test data with 'known' data-sets is *vital*. These sets could then be supplied with tags not so much as a 'versions' but a 'description'. A 'good' data-set, like good antique -- except here things can't be new enough -- has 'provenance' : geographical spread of IPs [APNIC, LACNIC, ARIN,...], an idea of the 'market' segment and a time-frame. So, I renew my plea : *please* send user-agent strings [web-access logs] ! I have developed a system to extract this info from web-access logs and retain the pertinent data without violating anyone's privacy [of course, if a vendor tags the UA string with a 'finger-print', you could argue it uniquely identifies 'someone']. With regard to this release I did include a small file of user-agents for testing in the release. [ua_strings.txt] It is part of the DeviceMap Console 'demo'/client. It is made so that if you set up the package 'as is' per instruction, you can start-up DeviceMapConsole.exe, and it will load the XML resources from URL and then run thru the supplied test file of some 10,000 ua-strings as a demo. One 'test' data-set I think we *must* have is one with at least one UA-string per device/pattern in the DDR, which I think is currently not the case. Oh, did I mention : *please* send user-agent strings ! esjr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTu64FAAoJEOxywXcFLKYcGWUH/198XDWUGEAId0l9TvorXb4e 4UdUm8HzfyMl9mP0xNaXY3Bfq6JAHh33gFGgklUbEKdHQMyZlmrV+cXESfhkCc31 ZtjCdysDAzov/u/HcC5YTKFs+8fr1RDrqRIQrA7tGqhuxd/BhkJXsOboP04SKWGT L6+Z7GltuFKHxr0fTC2pvpWGusr8lN8dHsPhdTpFfGTKajGcAO6e2xK14mh1D78p maPTMVwRfDjJicDvQHBuGcbxdI/v++NPAGcI3NdpvSUmg14x8q2Sk1KoeoZbjmLo 0laZGkHlWHbAPGdneR5MRY6sO43n9BOzmXOxIFM+HfmXvG6eUiH3Dhi6bKjjreE= =fa1n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
