Hi all.
I'd like to solve one painful problem we have and that is: We do not know how 
many users use given feature in the NetBeans based applications including the 
IDE.

The good news is that times are changing. I am about to implement a feature 
which permits for NB users to send back logs of what they did. I have written 
a proposal describing the solution. Check usecases:

http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-uihandler/overview-summary.html

and scenarios and a bit of ascii art at

http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/*checkout*/logger/uihandler/src/org/netbeans/modules/uihandler/api/doc-files/ui.html

I would strongly recommend to implement the project and use these data. Not 
doing so will result in something like. "None uses image module, anyway". 
Hmm, but maybe this is not true at all. May be that images are quite 
important for web apps. 


Tell me what you think and what would you change in my proposals.
Thanks.
