A starting note: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
You've started *four* threads on the same subject *today* already. |
| 10 |
As a result, the whole discussion is shattered all over the place |
| 11 |
and if someone really wants to know all the details, he has to lose |
| 12 |
*a lot of time* reading all the individual threads and trying to |
| 13 |
compare and assemble. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Please don't do that. Just start a single thread, and try to keep |
| 16 |
that discussion on subject. |

I don't know what kind of approval do you expect. I don't think Gentoo |
| 24 |
ever was much about 'officially approved', and I doubt we can give you |
| 25 |
any meaningful answer without prior testing. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If you think it will be beneficial, start working on it. Once you get |
| 28 |
it working and we can see how it works, we can consider making it |
| 29 |
official. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
However, I'm afraid many of Gentoo users will not be interested in |
| 32 |
participating, or only interested in partial participation. What you're |
| 33 |
suggesting implies sending a lot of potentially private information. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Many of our users will be concerned by that. I can't imagine it being |
| 36 |
any other way than opt-in. Then, many of our users will simply not |
| 37 |
care. As someone in the thread already noted, many of our users don't |
| 38 |
care about linuxcounter. Do you think they will actually care about |
| 39 |
your project? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Not that I'm against it. I'm just trying to be realistic here. To |
| 42 |
convince Gentoo users, you have to really convince them that their |
| 43 |
privacy will be respected and they will be able to make most of it |
| 44 |
having to submit the least amount of data. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
This also implies that the output has to be really useful. But that's |
| 47 |
an entirely different topic that can't be answered without more |
| 48 |
thorough thinking. |

| 56 |
To be honest, I think ~1.5 month of paperwork sounds like serious |
| 57 |
overcomplexity. Please also remember that we're very limited on time, |
| 58 |
and work of ~1.5 month sounds like something we won't be able to read. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Please try to think in smaller parts. Small, useful tools that could be |
| 61 |
integrated in the future to provide a better experience. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Also, please try to look for other Gentoo projects that worked on |
| 64 |
similar topics, gentoostats for example. You may make use of some of |
| 65 |
the past experiences. |
