Hi
As I module developer I am interested in usage information about my modules.
So I had an idea, that ansible (or maybe tower?) could gather statistics
(opt-in) about what modules are used and how often. These statistics
should be anonymously and should not contain any arguments passed, only
the module name and date used
I would like to see these stats public available for everyone. Any thoughts?
Yours

We've had some talks about this kind of opt-in piece. Would look a lot
like popcon, I imagine. Probably a fairly straightforward plug-in, but
we'd need a reliable server to collect the data. I presume it's
basically anonymized data that with each run says "a user invoked
these 5 modules".
In particular, this would be useful to figure out where to spend more
time on test coverage, where the proper line between Core and Extras
should be, etc., etc.
If it's opt-in and properly anonymized, are there any objections to
this kind of thing from anyone?
