I am not too much of a fan of google analytics. The drawback is, that it generates a central database of user behaviour on very many sites. Is e.g. Piwik eventually an option for you (http://www.piwik.org)?

If someone want's to do it, he can pretty much do it the way he wants to. (subject to the constraint that it doesn't muck anything else up). I only mentioned google analytics because it's the only one I know about. I've used it by just droping the javascript code and it was a no-brainer - which is a great feature from my stand point. Of course, my needs were only the most rudimentary up until now. Now I would like to be able to use some api to view statistics for a library inside the library page that the user sees - not just the administrator. Seems like a simple request, but .... you know... On my previous provider they had a simple program would would troll the local log. Actually this was the best solution for me - no adding stuff to pages etc. Just thought I'd mention it. Just to repeat what I've said in previous posts. It has always been a sore spot to me that I can't get any statistics on how many users the serialization library has. This is because boost is deployed as "one big thing". With blincubator I want to avoid that so we have some idea about how many people have found a library useful. So if I see a library has been download 5000 times and only has 10 complaints that's useful information. If a library has been downloaded only 4 times and has 10 complaints, that's also useful information. If 10,000 people reviewed the documentation but only 20 downloaded it, that's useful information as well. etc... Robert Ramey
