[Qt-creator] [Development] Requesting repository for telemetry plugin in Qt Creator

[Tuukka Turunen]

Hi Simon,

Is that an item to decide at repo creation time or something to address later during implementation / code review? For example consider requesting a repo for qt/qtcharts – should we have known what data users want to visualize with it before having a repository (or only during the implementation of the feature)?

That said, I do agree that we should discuss about the topic if we are to collect user analytics data – and to also learn what kind of data is valuable to collect (noting that there are strict rules for anything that can be considered personal data). My view is that creating the requested repository and developing the code in the open is very good for transparency and also provides good opportunities for discussion during the implementation.

Yours,

                             Tuukka

Hi,



Can you provide a bit more information about how this plugin / frontend fits into the Qt project? Where is the collected data sent to and how is it accessible to the community?



(-1 from me, as I think this needs to be clarified)



Simon

Hi,



+1 for creating the repo, but what about qt/qtanalytics as a name? This item could be useful also for other applications.



Yours,
