Trinity Registration Dialog Specification

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)
