[josm-dev] Plugin Popularity

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    the number of plugins becomes ever larger, which is good.

I would like to amend the JOSM "User-Agent" header to contain not only 
version and language, but also a list of installed plugins - e.g. 
instead of today's

JOSM/1.5 (2069 SVN en_GB) Java/1.6.0_0

I would transmit

JOSM/1.5 (2069 SVN en_GB; wmsplugin, validator, slippymap) Java/1.6.0_0

This would enable us to make an estimate about which plugins are most 
popular, and we could rank them accordingly - assuming the most popular 
ones are also the most important ones.

If you find this undesirable (it is a privacy issue but we have already 
sneaked in the version and language without asking anyone), then I would 
like to find some other way to indicate to new users which plugins are 
those commonly used.

Bye
Frederik
