collection tool for Asterisk servers?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>I think it would be great for someone to write a small
‘anonymous collection module’ that an Asterisk sys-admin could
download and install on their asterisk server which uploaded the stats to a
community website where the data was anonymous but still valuable for the
community.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>Even if it just collected number of new installations
globally this would be a huge help to people selling asterisk to their
customers who continually ask “I’ve heard about this Asterisk open
source stuff but how many are there installed globally anyway?”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>So this survey is to gauge the community’s
reaction to the development of an analytics tool like this. Please answer with
your honest thoughts so we can gauge demand within the community for this tool.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>If people respond to this survey and show interest in
sharing their information with the community then something we’ll put
together a working group to establish design parameters etc but for the moment
just go here and vote if you think this is a good idea or not<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

their IP addresses or personal information/passwords etc. You will be able to
see what information is being collected in a text file before it uploads and
will be able to control all stats it collects.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
