This page details the functionality and interface desired for the TDE Registration Dialog
Desired outcome: Each installation of Trinity is (optionally) registered by its MAC address. The following information would be automatically collected:
- MAC address
- Distribution name and version, if the distribution has versions
- Installed packages (?)
- Disk type/size (System root only, or all installed disks?)
- CPU type/speed
- RAM size/speed
- Type of machine: PC/notebook/netbook/tablet
- Videocard chipset (intel/ati/nvidia), maybe the model of videocard
- Video drivers (proprietary/opensource)
- Kernel version
- Xorg version
- Trinity version
Optionally, the user could elect to sign up for the trinity-users mailing list by providing an Email address. He or she could also tie a system to his or her name if desired.
The dialog needs to be designed so that:
- The user knows EXACTLY what is being sent to the Trinity server
- He or she is inclined to hit Submit instead of Cancel (i.e. it needs to be attractive, simple, and easy)
