Hi Will,

We want to be able to focus our engineering efforts on the things that matter most to our users, and in order to do that we need to get some more data about sort of setups our users have and which software they are running on it.

We would like to add a checkbox to the installer, exact wording TBD, but along the lines of "Send diagnostics information to help improve Ubuntu".  This would be checked by default.

Fine by me.I refurbish old donated laptops and PCs and pass them on to people with mental health problems, their family and carers - this is the Computer Wombling Project. Enabling the above by default would be a good idea as quite a few of the end users would struggle to cope with this sort of thing.

BW,
