Automatically (and of course anonymously) collect usage statistics, for example about:

  • changed preferences (to determine better default values)
  • number of open databases, size of db, ...
  • used functionality (to extract main use cases)

Maybe also occasionally ask questions about the way users use JabRef and/or what they want (a lite version of the recent survey).

Of course, the should have to option to opt out of this data collecting.

We could leverage Google Analytics for this which allows to send arbitrary events to the cloud for analysis.

In this case, we may use https://github.com/siddii/jgoogleanalytics or some related project.

As an alternative we could use Piwik:
https://github.com/piwik/piwik-java-tracker
It can be self-hosted and would be a bit more user-privacy-friendly

I do not like this self-hosted stuff, as it draws developer resources away from the more important things - improving JabRef :)

Decision from devcall: use google.
