I would be interested to understand more about what is meant by "... potential for helping Social Engineering attacks". My intent is to accurately and comprehensively represent the libraries that have adopted Koha, as well as the other open source and proprietary automation systems. I'm not aware of any other project with similar objectives. -marshall Marshall Breeding Editor, Library Technology Guides http://www.librarytechnology.org marshall.breeding@librarytechnology.org http://twitter.com/mbreeding -----Original Message----- From: koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] On Behalf Of MJ Ray Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 6:38 AM To: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Subject: [Koha-devel] How to gather better popularity data? We're often asked for better data on who is using Koha. For full disclosure listings, there are good places (like wiki.koha-community.org, when account registration works again) and so-so places (like libwebcats with its incomplete representation of library-support relationships and potential for helping Social Engineering attacks), but what about collecting basic usage data? A side-effect of the use of debian packages is that koha appears on http://popcon.debian.org/ (14 installations) and http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ (3 installations). Do other distributions have similar things? Have many koha package users installed and activated the popularity-contest package? Can we get more data consensually? How should we do this? A question in the web installer/upgrader? Plus a weekly heartbeat cronjob? What data should we ask for? Can we leave it up to libraries how anonymous they will be? Basic return is "Koha in use" with some generated unique identifier, semi-anonymous response adds which country they are in and how many branches they have, full response includes catalogue name? I assume this can go in 3.6. Would the 3.4 RM accept it?
