I'm unsure about the point of view to use for such a summary. |

Let me try this: |

|
10 |
The stats project was about creation of a client and server collecting |
11 |
information about user setups to be able to better prioritize |
12 |
development efforts in Gentoo. The data collected ranges from |
13 |
details about installed packages to compile flags to the selection of |
14 |
mirrors. What data is submitted can be configured freely to match |
15 |
the need of privacy of the machine's administrator. |
16 |
|
17 |
With the collected data Gentoo will be able to answer all sorts of |
18 |
questions including: |
19 |
- Which non-system packages deserve extra attention? |
20 |
- What common setup mistakes do people make? |
21 |
- How well is the usage of mirrors balanced? |
22 |
|
23 |
The implementation is based on Smolt[1]. The stats project was and |
24 |
will be done in cooperation with Smolt upstream. |
25 |
|
26 |
What do you think? |
