The recent conversation on Infra about Google Analytics for Apache
projects is interesting. I should have thought of it earlier since
I've been using their services for a whole bunch of our customers. It
produces really useful reports.
Would anyone object if I added this service to the Cayenne site? It
involves one piece of javascript which causes an extra fetch from a
Google server on every page load. I've not noticed any speed
degradation in even our busiest sites and the personal info shared
with Google is just the typical ones: which page, what IP, is Flash/
Java/etc installed. Nothing to identify individual people beyond
their IP address which is in the Apache logs anyway.
The plus side is that it gives us a better idea of which
documentation pages are most used, how long people spend looking
through the site, where they start looking from (do they all start on
the front page), etc. These things can help tell us how to improve
the site and the profile of Cayenne.
I'd start by giving all committers access to the reports, but they
can also be periodically (eg monthly) emailed to one of the lists if
we like.
Cheers
Ari
