I could see a web application that made it easy for remixers to provide all sorts of information about what, where, how, why, who, when, and so forth. Even more, I could see an active special interest group in Fedora that attracted remixers by giving them reasons to be involved. A sort-of meta-community of remixers, who themselves might be the tip of many thousands of remix users. The concern is, anything that is automatic without opt-in is going to need a HUGE amount of visibility to the Fedora community. People are wary of being tracked and reported on, so they would have to know early what was being tracked, why, how, how it was aggregated, anonymized, and so forth. All of that decided, openly, before a single line of code need be written. Smolt was created originally as a response to a situation where we weren't going to go through that last paragraph of hassle with the Fedora community. Could the data needs you are talking about utilize the existing Smolt + grow a remixer community? - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
