To clarify: I'm seeking feedback on whether or not to include this feature.
New user as of today but it seems the information being uploaded is pretty minor. I would also argue that getting this application more visibility through the Winlink system is key for it's adoption. I'm here as I'm interested in the ARDOP/Winmor connector support which was only previously available in BPQ32
dranch, thanks for joining the discussion!
I believe you make a valid point regarding getting some visibility through the Winlink system. The potential gain of uploading the data is very appealing from a developers point of view. Given the importance of user growth in this stage of the project, i believe users will benefit from this too.
I'm leaning towards merging the branch, and making sure that the future configuration UI (issue #5) prompts the user and provides info on what's being uploaded.
I see you have joined the pat-users list too, welcome! I haven't gotten around to writing a wiki page for ardop and winmor setup yet. So please don't hesitate to post questions if you're having questions.
RMS Express and all other mainstream clients reports the user callsign, appname and version frequently to the winlink web API.
The feature/version_report branch implements this feature for Pat, but I guess there may be some privacy concerns about enabling this by default.
PROS:
CONS:
The feature will be optional, but enabled by default.
Feedback please :)
