NAME

6       Padre::Plugin::PopularityContest - The Padre Popularity Contest
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The Padre Popularity Contest is a plug-in that collects various
10       information about your Padre installation as it runs, and reports that
11       information over the Internet to a central server.
12
13       The information collected from the Popularity Contest plug-in is used
14       by the development team to track the adoption rate of different
15       features, to help set the default configuration values, and to
16       prioritise development focus.
17
18       In other words, to make life better for you in the next release, and
19       the ones after that.
20
21   What information will we collect?
22       At the moment, the following information is collected:
23
24       Run time of Padre (Time between start and exit of Padre)
25       Type of operating system (platform only: Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)
26       Padre version number
27       Perl, Wx and wxWidgets version numbers
28       Number of times each menu option is used (directly or via shortcut or
29       toolbar)
30       MIME type of files (like "text/plain" or "application/perl") which are
31       opened in Padre
32
33       In addition, a random process ID for Padre is created and transmitted
34       just to identify multiple reports from a single running instance of
35       Padre. It doesn't match or contain your OS process ID but it allows us
36       to count duplicate reports from a single running copy only once.  A new
37       ID is generated each time you start Padre and it doesn't allow any
38       identification of you or your computer.
39
40       The following information may be added sooner or later:
41
42       Enabled/disabled features (like: are tool tips enabled or not?)
43       Selected Padre language
44
45   I feel observed.
46       Disable this module and no information would be transmitted at all.
47
48       All information is anonymous and can't be tracked to you, but it helps
49       the developer team to know which functions and features are used and
50       which aren't.
51
52       This is an open source project and you're invited to check what this
53       module does by just opening Padre/Plugin/PopularityContest.pm and check
54       that it does.
55
56   What information WON'T we collect?
57       There are some things we can be very clear about.
58
59       1. We will NEVER begin to collect information of any kind without you
60       first explicitly telling us we are allowed to collect that type of
61       information.
62
63       2. We will NEVER copy any information that would result in a violation
64       of your legal rights, including copyright.  That means we won't
65       collect, record, or transmit the contents of any file.
66
67       3. We will NEVER transmit the name of any file, or the cryptographic
68       hash of any file, or any other unique identifier of any file, although
69       we may need to record them locally as index keys or for optimisation
70       purposes.
71
72       3. We will NEVER transmit any information that relates to you
73       personally unless you have given it to us already (in which case we'll
74       only send an account identifier, not the details themselves).
75
76       4. We will NEVER transmit any information about your operating system,
77       or any information about your network that could possibly compromise
78       security in any way.
79
80       5. We will take as much care as we can to ensure that the collection,
81       analysis, compression and/or transmission of your information consumes
82       as little resources as possible, and we will in particular attempt to
83       minimize the resource impact while you are actively coding.
84
85       Finally, if you really don't trust us (or you aren't allowed to trust
86       us because you work inside a secure network) then we encourage you to
87       delete this plug-in entirely.
