Mozilla Test Pilot program will solicit anonymous user data
Mozilla Labs is introducing a new project today called Test Pilot. It's not up and running just yet, but the goal is to provide Mozilla developers with information they can use to test ideas and further build Firefox, Thunderbird and other Mozilla-based software. Initially Test Pilot will be available as a Firefox add-on which will collect anonymous user data. One nifty thing about Test Pilot is that it won't actually be gathering data all the time, just when a Mozilla researcher has a specific question that needs answering, like how many browser tabs the typical user has open at any given time.
Test Pilot will be an opt-in program. Mozilla doesn't plan to force the program on anyone, but the group does hope to get somewhere around 1% of all firefox users to sign up for Test Pilot.
Until the project launches, you can find out more and discuss Test Pilot in the Mozilla Labs forums.
