| [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:
During the last week i have fixed the last 2 Bugs ([2],[3]) for the 0.1 release :-)
Then i have started testing the plug-in on different OS (OS X 10, Ubuntu and Windows 7) and found a Bug, where the user id preference page crash when the “.eclipse” directory does not exist in the user home directory [4]. I have pushed a patch for this Bug to Gerrit.
Tasks for the next week:
This week i will continue writing documentation for the 0.1 release and start planning the next release.
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.
