Hello Liz,
Hi Paul,
No objection really, using Hea is a good thing and I recommend libraries enable it. We should make asking about enabling it the last step of the onboarder [is it there already? I forget...]. :)
What I would like to see, is a lighter weight checkin to hea, where if you (or your IT department) were feeling a bit wary about sending all of your syspref stats to Hea, you could send only your Library name and contact information, if desired (Koha could, of course, provide things like the currently running version) as a one off. This idea sounds surprising to me: sharing sysprefs in anonymous way look less sensible than sharing library & contact. That's why we wrote HEA with only 3 options: share nothing / share data anonymously (including syspref) / share everything. In your idea, what about numbers already shared (like # of biblios,

I do feel like having just the name and the contact information, as a one off submission, would result in more libraries being listed in Hea - especially if it's the last step in the onboarder at installation time, and available say, to do later from the about page. could add a default news item pointing to the preferences to turn it on and/or register your library with the community. IT departments are weird sometimes, what can I say. ^.^
I recognise this is a feature request for Hea :D and I think I'd be happy at some stage to build the bits into Koha that were required to have the feature, if it seems like something desirable to have in addition to the auto reporting.
I have other ideas about how one-off data could be used too, for example you could flag those libraries if they never updated automatically (or done an additional one off submission later) in Hea "this library hasn't reported in for a long time - this entry may be suspect." Those could be in an entirely separate list, too. Could also email the contact automatically "hey update your entry if you're still using Koha!" Good news: we store the "last update timestamp" on the server. So we can do that really easily ;)
