I like the on-tool-setting-that-disappears-after-first-use idea, and users will be familiar with it, because most software that collects data, as the last step of installation, pops up a dialog asking the user to participate.

It���s a systems psychology problem - we want people to participate without forcing/tricking them. If it���s "just another setting" in the settings browser, even the first in the GT group, they will likely gloss over it and participation will be low. If it���s always right on the front of the tool, it could disrupt the uniformity of the UI. So we need a notification that is both temporary and stands out so users can���t miss it.

Cheers,
Sean
