[m2e-users] m2e usage stats collection

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a heads up. I plan to enable m2e usage statistics reporting and
collection starting with 1.5/Luna M2 and will backport it to 1.4/Kepler
SR2 if everything goes well.

I've opened bug 416371 [1] to track this work. I listed data I plan to
collect and provided links to proposed implementation in the bug.

I still need to figure out where to run statistics collection server.
Ideally, I'd like to see it running somewhere at eclipse.org
infrastructure and will contact webmaster to see if this is something
they will be able to accommodate. Failing that, I have tentative
agreement from Jason to run the server at his tesla.io infrastructure.

Hopefully this will provide something more objective than gut feelings
when we decide what eclipse and java versions m2e has to support.
