[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:

After finishing the the privacy preference page last week, i have improved the tooltip layout to properly display hyperlinks (see attached screenshot)


The actual version can be installed from the update size [2].


Then i have started with the popup dialogue which will ask users about approval of permissions once a new plugin register for the privacy framework.


Tasks for the next week:

I will continue with the popup dialogue this week and will also contribute some snippets for snipmatch.


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.
