Re: [recommenders-dev] [gsoc] Status Report for: Visualized Statistics from the Developer Workspace

Hi Akif,

thanks for the status report.

A couple of comments:

- While some of the statistics like "Installed Software" or "Workspace"
(number and size of files) are nice to look at, they are not
*actionable*. Yes, I can look at the "Installed Software" plot and think
"nice!", but this plot does not give me a new insight on how to improve
my development workflow.

What I want the developer statistics project to accomplish is providing
plots that suggest (recommenders? ;-) improvements. You can, e.g., track
the number of times I use the "Source > Add Import" command on a static
method and show this in a plot, ideally complete with a clickable link
to make this method a Content Assist favorite (Java > Editor > Content
Assist > Favorites preference page). When I have imported Math.max 20
times, why not make max a favorite?

- Other things I can imagine is a statistic of common completion
prefixes use. I am not sure whether we can make automatic suggestions on
how to use subwords most effectively, but such a plot/visualization
would still make the developer think about the way they use their IDE.

- Do Bugzilla issues exist for the different features? If so, please
link to the in you mail, so I can comment in Bugzilla.

Anyway, looking forward to try out the new features.

Hope this helps.

Andreas
