30 30  It' very important for the open source committers to understand how well or how badly they're faring when developing the XWiki open source project. So far we didn't know if the number of people using XWiki was increasing, decreasing or staying stable. This module allows us to know who's using XWiki.

33 33  * A client side JAR is bundled with XWiki and it sends a ping with data once per day
34 34  * A server side Application is installed on xwiki.org, allowing us to query the data sent and to display a counter of Active Installs of XWiki (i.e. installs for which we've received a ping in the last N days, for example at least one ping in the past month).

36 36  The data sent is anonymous and consists of the following:

37 37  * A unique id (UUID) representing the XWiki instance. Note that not even the IP is kept and there's no way to find who's having a give UUID (it's generated using Java's UUID implementation)

41 +* The version of your XWiki distribution
39 39  * The technical ids and versions of extensions you have installed.
