| [recommenders-dev] [GSoC] Approved data collection weekly report |
Hi,
this is the weekly report or the GSoC project eclipse approved data collection [1]
Project short description: In order to understand how and for which reasons developers are using Eclipse, many Plug-ins want to collect some usage data. The main problem with any data collection technology is privacy, therefore plugins should ask for approval before collecting usage data. The goal of this project is to collect such user approval before sending the data to any external server. Any operation that uploads data must be “opt-in”.
New implemented features:
I have implemented the popup dialog which will ask users about approval of permissions once a new plugin register for the privacy framework. (see attached screenshot)
I have also created some snippets for snipmatch but i am having trouble pushing my changes to gerrit (getting not authorized error).
Tasks for the next week:
The next step will be suggesting decision on the basis of already approved/disapproved permissions and i will improve the preferences settings service so that it can be easily extended to support e.g. whitelist mechanism which will be the focus during the second stage of the GSoC.
If you have any question or any description above is not clear enough, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to receiving your comments and feedback,
Yasser.
