Can we use a blanket opt-in checkbox so we can aggregate any and all account information? or is there information we would never ever want the ability to aggregate? Do we need a checkbox per field? So as we add fields people get a new opt-in checkbox? If I were going to do one checkbox it would read sort of like this: I am allowing the Fedora project to publish details of my account as part of aggregate data summaries. So we would be able to use an accounts ip address, geo data, locale, or even name, such as part of counting or trending statistics. For example what if we wanted to know how many contributors had a last names starting with M or S? By ticking this box we could include your personal information in that aggregate count. Obviously that sort of alphabetic breakdown would unlikely to be needed. But it serves as an example of a way to take obviously personal identifying information and aggregating it. And I would need to be able to get a count of the people who did or did not opt-in. Knowing that we have say 10% opting-in would help qualify any aggregate numbers we got out. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
