[Qgis-developer] Download stats

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

For the InaSAFE plugin upcoming release I have implemented a sentry[1]
client that pushes all tracebacks to [2]. Its totally opt in via the
options dialog and it allows us to gather useful metrics about where
and how often certain exceptions are raised. Of course its python only
but it would be great to provide the same functionality from within
QGIS directly (see code at [3]).

Regards

Tim
