The usage statistics will be gathered by sniffing DBus and X11 messages in the [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-client|sugar-client]] program launched with the {{Code|monitor}} command.

Summary

Sugar usage statistics might be very useful from, e.g., an educational or research point of view. Statistics might be anonymous or personalized (by taking special efforts to keep information secure and local for use only by a particular deployment).

Statistics

All types of statistics are identified by IDs in a dot separated hierarchy. This makes it possible to refer to the particular type or level of data.
