Log Collector: Send XO information, fails, server side issue

[quozl]

Log activity has a button that attempts to upload data to
​http://olpc.scheffers.net/olpc/submit.tcl which is currently not available.

[quozl]

Server owner does not wish to reinstate the service. ​http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/testing/2010-September/001787.html

Still present in OLPC 11.2.0 os13.

Do we wish to move the handler somewhere, or remove the option?

If the option is kept, legal counsel may want to review the implications of collecting user-specific data from computers, as the laws regarding this in at least a few countries require out-of-band parental approval for children, privacy policies, and/or similar.

I don't think this is a problem for Sugar Labs, except that the activity does not support a privacy policy that OLPC may want to adopt. OLPC needs to be clearer about the policy it wants, and this can be decided during olpc-os-builder. I've made a patch to the Log activity that:

• removes the broken service URL from the embedded script,
• removes the broken service URL from the activity,
• disables the send information button,
• provides a mechanism by which olpc-os-builder may configure gconf to restore the send information button and specify a service URL.

Log-24 is in OLPC OS 11.2.0 os13.

... except my logic is entirely wrong, but I'm sure a Log developer will get the idea. ;-)

Agree with this patch..Simon or Wade? can apply it. I see they have access to the repo.

Also a merge request could be handy.

I've fixed and split the patch (​d8f8d2c and ​b8030f6), created a ​personal clone and a ​merge request against your personal clone.
