I have a task ahead of me to create 70-100 HDAs, that should together create a toolset.

I will work on it for about a year or two.

One of the biggest challenges for me will be creating a suitable Parm Interface.

I was wondering if the Usage Statistics could be used. I would approach it like this:
- Use the toolset with unlocked HDAs (just me as a developer)
- Edit the parameters inside the HDAs to achieve desired results
- Track (several months) which parameters were most often changed (possibly the range of values too)
- According to that, promote the most frequently used parameters
- Release the toolset

Is there such a system built in Houdini? Is it accessible for us? I am referring to this:

Usage information for different Houdini node types

I could also develop my custom statistics:
- check which parms are not isAtDefault()
- or add an event callback to the parms (hou.nodeEventType.ParmTupleChanged)
- write to a file, after each successful usecase of the HDA (probably manually with a button)
- collect and evaluate those files after few months

I am facing such a big challenge for the first time.
I don't feel like all those usecases will fit into my head :S
