[Chandler-dev] Supporting an auto-update feature for the Desktop

[Sheila Mooney]

So, it's my understanding that we have discussed this before but I  
wanted to throw it out on the list again.

As part of the metrics project I am working on, I am looking at ways  
to better track the users we have. We currently capture metrics around  
people synching to the hub but this doesn't really tell us anything  
about the users who aren't sharing - I think they are out there. I was  
thinking that an auto-update feature would enable us to get better  
metrics on people who are using the desktop regularly. As an end-user  
feature, auto-update is probably a nice-to-have but for collecting  
data it might be very useful.

I was interested in some kind of discussion around the cost and  
complications of implementing this and what creative ideas might be  
floating around. Grant, I am cc'ing you in particular to help kick off  
the discussion.

Cheers,
Sheila
