[xwiki-devs] [ActiveInstalls][Brainstorming] Sending the number of users/wikis in the ping: a problem?

Hi devs, Right now, during the Active Installs ping we send a certain number of information (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Active+Installs+Client…) which allow us to have this dashboard: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ActiveInstalls/ This allows us to have an idea of how XWiki’s usage is moving forward (whether it’s growing, reducing or is stable). This also allows us to try new changes in new XWiki versions and see how that affects the number of active installs, thus validating or invalidating the changes. Since XWiki is a Server software, I was thinking that the number of instances around the world isn't really a good indicator of how much XWiki is used by users. Imagine an XWiki instance with 10K users. Right now it’s counted the same as an instance with 1 user. That doesn’t seem quite right since the instance with 10K users shows a much more important usage of XWiki. Thus I was thinking that we could add sending both the total number of users (from all subwikis) + the number of wikis, for the current XWiki instance. Since the data is anonymous and there’s no way to link it to any company/user, I don’t feel it would generate a privacy issue. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
