I cannot find this discussion. Did that happen earlier than GSoC '11? I agree though that we should not collect any data without users' permission. I merely proposed to have no default at all (which would mean collecting no data, ofc) and remind the user until he has decided. > Drawing attention to the feature *once* after new installs or after > upgrading from a version that didn't support it would be OK. Why can we not encourage users to opt-in more than once? I agree we should leave users alone that have decided to opt-out, but users that have not decided should be reminded periodically. If we're not at least trying to get some data we can scrap the whole statistics branch completely, because it will be useless. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
