The drupal module in 5.x sends a subset of this (site name, URI, IIRC).<br>The new update module in 6.x supersedes that, but I am not up to date<br>on the details. It includes installed modules too.<br><br>I think the data is in the DB of
<a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a>.<br><br>Is it a big deal if the that info is sent? The highest rated comments so far<br>downplay that it is an issue at all.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/25/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Got a chuckle over this:<br><br> <a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/09/25/1632246.shtml">http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/09/25/1632246.shtml</a><br><br>"Popular open-source blogging engine WordPress has been upgraded to
2.3<br>— with some unexpected nasties in the mix. As of version 2.3, WordPress<br>now periodically (every 12 hours) sends personally identifying<br>information (blog name & URI) to the mothership, along with an alarming
<br>amount of information including $_SERVER dumps, a list of installed<br>plugins, and your current PHP/MySQL settings. Most unfortunately, it<br>does not provide any way of disabling this functionality, and WordPress<br>
does not have any privacy policy protecting this information. In a<br>thread about the issue, lead developer Matt Mullenweg defends his<br>actions and staunchly refuses to add an opt-in interface, telling users<br>to 'fork WordPress' if they aren't willing to put up with this behavior."
