SubjectRe: Is anyone using EXT FS
Date
Jim_Nance@avanticorp.com was heard saying ....

Just a comment..... it would be trivial (if email is available on the
user system) to bounce a copy of their config file to a program that
records what features are being used. Of course, this sending of
information would HAVE to be voluntary. Maybe the last step in the
make config process.

This would also give us an interesting database of peoples
configurations, whats being used the most and the least.

I would be happy to host such a monster (including the perl mail
script). In fact, it sounds really interesting to me.... I think I'll
play with that this weekend.....
