Bonjour Michel:

A distro that does not collect data by some shape or form is one that 
drives blindly. We cannot market LibO effectively without doing some 
kind of data collecting otherwise we will never know how many people are 
using it and most importantly from where. We will also not have an 
opportunity to invite new members into the community and risk 
stagnation. New blood in an organisation always add vibrancy and this is 
where new and fresh ideas come from.

I for one, would like to see some form of registration be part of the 
signing up process.

Marc
