+For these installations, there could be a case made for preparing an 
+initial form, with the users consent of course, that could be 
+transmitted later, again with user knowledge and consent.
+
+It is still to Mageia's advantage, both from a development point of view 
+and marketing point of view, to be aware of the instances of installations.
+
+It doesn't have to be an accurate amount, for that matter, it could be 
+an approximation of the amount of installations. This could also be done 
+at the point of download monitoring, as suggested elsewhere, with unique 
+IP's being taken into account.
+
+I am more in favour of doing both, but more interested of the "at 
+installation" and filling a short survey for Mageia stat purposes. This 
+is a more concrete way measuring user participation in the project.
