Steve, if you send me e-mail promising to keep my data confidential then I'll be happy to e-mail you the bug list (it's a large file, so please express a preference for compression format and MIME vs. uuencode). You can also share it with others as long as we can get transitive closure on confidentiality promises. This isn't a legalistic NDA thing -- I just want to be sure that people who touch the data understand that it is not to be published, posted, or otherwise mass distributed without my consent. Once the data is converted into a regular bug report(s) then confidentiality goes away as long as it is not readily possible to reconstruct my experimental data from the bug database. Also, I'd like your physical mail address so I can send you a hard-copy letter confirming the arrangement as well as some summary data charts and conference papers that you will probably find interesting. Finally, if the bug report ends up being useful it would be nice to have a formal acknowledgement letter from Someone With An Impressive Title(!??) that I can show to my research sponsors to demonstrate "impact." Best regards, -- Phil (P.S., I'm also Cc'ing core@freebsd.org per D.
