 * Like i said before “any IP information we recieved could be discarded.”
    It’s
   trivial to tell apache not to log a connection.

 * anatman: i suggest that instead of sending the URL back, a MD5 hash of the relevant
   data is sent back instead. This way we can’t tell what the URL actually IS, but
   we can tell two differnt URLs apart. It’s not perfect, but it significantly reduces
   your identibility (not that that is a word) and lets us detect seperate installations
   by comparing hashes.
    skippy: yeah, i originally thought integrating it into 
   the install script would probably be the best place for it. 🙂 We could just 
   have a button in the admin console that says “phone home” on it or something 
   so you can ping back whenever you feel like, either once, never at all etc.

 * The memory usage of WordPress is quite high. 2 MB at least, per page. It probably
   spikes to more than that at times. This means that if you have a fairly high 
   traffic blog, or your host has resource limits which are quite low, your probably
   going to have problems. I am 100% sure that the memory usage of WordPress can
   be reduced significantly. And i’ll say tentatively that perhaps it can be reduced
   to under a meg.
    In the mean time there isn’t much you can do except reduce the
   number of posts and links on your front page. Sorry.

 * Rantor’s idea certainly sounds rather nice actually. Clean and simple 🙂 I Like
   it. It’s not Bayesian spam filtering for blog comments, but it might be rather
   effecticve, for a time at least.
