That is a great idea,

It may take a few upgrades, but I think anyone actively using server will upgrade sooner or later. @Lance Haig

Though as we're a large organisation, we're holding back for a stable release with a web interface. We'll keep downloading and trailing it occasionally in the meantime. I'm not too keen on the idea of a cron job for the sake of stats, but I don't have any other ideas either sorry. The initial email during setup seems the least intrusive. Or perhaps just polls on the website may give a rough idea on usage. Similar to Bill, I’ve also been keeping a eye on Bongo’s progress since hula (we’re old nims/netmail users).

Your continued interest in Bongo is appreciated. I do like your idea and it would be easy to implement the only downside is that if the person then removes the server we have no way to find out. Do you have any thoughts. Firstly I want to say thanks for the response. Your continued interest in Bongo is appreciated.

Not having a Web-UI is the only reason I have not downloaded it. I don't know how many others there are like me, but I would suspect there are more. Maybe you could have an install script queue an outgoing message when Bongo is first installed. I have been watching Bongo (and previously Hula) for some time.
