| [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:
Last week i have focused on the usability part of the privacy preference page as it is one of the key feature that will encourage people using the privacy framework. The permissions are now listed by datums and by interested parties which make it easier for the user to find which plugins are collecting which data. (see attached screenshot)
Tasks for the next week:
After fixing some design/conventions issues i will push the changes to gerrit, then i will start implementing the first popup dialogue to ask the user for permissions.
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.
