Omniture & Fedora

[Max Spevack]

Fedora Webmasters:

A while back (maybe back when we were still split between 
fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org), we had some code on a few of 
our pages that allowed basic web statistics to be sucked into Red Hat's 
larger web traffic analysis program -- the stuff that tracks visits for 
redhat.com, jboss.com, etc.

Red Hat uses something called Omniture for this.
 	http://www.omniture.com/

In Fedora, we use awstats to track lots of things about people who visit 
*.fedoraproject.org, and I personally find those stats to be very 
interesting and revealing.

The folks who manage Red Hat's Omniture stuff would like to add in a 
little bit of tracking into Fedora's websites.

My understanding is that this would involve the addition of some 
Javascript on *selected* pages (perhaps index.html, get-fedora.html, 
join.html, release notes, whatever.  We can discuss that).

The purpose of adding this in would be to allow Red Hat's larger web 
analysis group to see how Fedora traffic compares to and maps to other 
Red Hat traffic.  This would be valuable to them, and I would ask the 
Fedora Websites team to allow Jesse Eversole (Red Hat engineer who I 
have copied on this message) to share more details with you and then 
consider the proposal.

Thank you for your time.
