Hi devs,
I think it would be great to have some indication of how many active instances of XWiki
are out there in the wild. The idea is not so much to know the figure but to see how this
figures evolves and thus to see if we're doing things right. It will also give us
information about how quickly or slowly our user base upgrades from version to version.
Here's my proposal:
* When installing XWiki on a clean DB (ie first time install) generate a unique id and
store it in the DB (similar to the version we're storing in the DB but using some
UUID). Thus when an install is upgraded the same id is preserved.
* When the Extension Manager is used and thus connects to extensions.xwiki.org (default
extension repository), this unique ID is sent too.
* In addition the version of XE is sent too
* On extensions.xwiki.org side, we only log the unique ID/XE version **without** logging
the IP or any other information thus ensuring that the ID remains completely anonymous
* We display a counter on xwiki.org about the # of active instances of XE with a graph
about XE versions used
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi,
sounds cool to me, I'd love to have such a graph on XWiki.org to showcase
the community around XWiki :-)
Maybe we could add an option in the preference to deactivate this feature
for users who'd prefer nor providing this type of information?

Yes, in the Admin page for EM.

I guess in the future we could also send the geographical coordinates and plot a worldwide
map to know where XWiki users are located ;)

+1
Also note that being able to generate this instance id would also be
needed to install an extension in your instance from
extensions.xwiki.org (like you can do on Android style).

That should be cool to have, this is why I am +1, but we should provide a
way to opt-in to these stats in the extension manager. This could be active
by default, and the interface should explain what we collect exactly
shortly, with a link to a privacy policy on XWiki.org.
The release adding this should also clearly state this change and provide
complete information so no one is afraid.

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Finding how many active instances of XWiki there are out there
Hi devs,
I've started a design page for this at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ActiveInstalls
(and created the jira issue at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9401)
Compared to the original proposal and after talking to Thomas we agreed that this should
be done independently of the EM module.
WDYT of the architecture?
Thanks

I've now implemented the first version of it and I'm ready to commit it in
platform.
If nobody objects, I'll add this for 5.2M2 in the coming days before the 9th (going to
do some cleanup before committing).
