I have noticed that it's broken, but since we should hopefully, at some point in a not too distant future, get a new www.freebsd.org I don't have any plans to fix this before the move. -- Simon L. Nielsen Hat of the day: admins / webmaster Core@ has discussed strongly moving to Google Analytics for www.freebsd.org. Google Analytics is based on the Urchin product that we used previously before it was acquired by Google, but just entails us adding a javascript ping to the bottom of pages instead of analyzing http logs. This has the advantage of providing information about screen resolution and other details not possible to collect from httpd access logs. It also provides a much more detailed analysis of trends that allow you to drill down to different geographic regions, to see the most popular search terms that allow users to get to our site, where users lose interest in the site, etc.. Please speak up here if you have concerns about moving to Google Analytics to provide better web usage statistics. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-www->murray Hey Murray, can you please look into getting this going, I didn't see a negative reply on your proposal, so we should just get this going... State Changed From-To: open->suspended This is pending review. Responsible Changed From-To: murray->gjb Make this mine, since, though not currently enabled, Google Analytics code does exist on the site, pending review to enable it. Closing this, long overdue, since Google Analytics is in use on the site. |
