It's not that there's no demand. It's just that I won't trust anybody
with those data. For instance, think of it as in what places can I find
servers volnurable to advisory AST-200x-xxx? 

One parallel to look at is Debian's popcon:

It is also used by Ubuntu:

Ok guys I'm only going to leave this survey up for a few more days;

 

Click this link and answer what you think - it's only 4 questions and
will take you less than 30 seconds to answer.

Lets support the Asterisk community and get an honest opinion on what
people think about anonymous statistics.



Cheers,
Dean

Subject: Anonymous statistics collection tool for Asterisk
servers?

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.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean
