Subject: gathering data on how people use Emacs
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:13:00 -0700	[thread overview]

Hello,

With the recent discussion on how people use Emacs I have been pondering how to acquire use data that would illuminate
the discussion with fact.

Emacs has a nifty facility for recording the input events: these keystroke dumps, if suitably scrubbed of personal
data, and keyed to an anonymous ID could be used to populate a database that could be mined for the kind of information
needed in the discussions on user interface design.

WDOT ?

Cheers,
Mike Mattie
