To be clear:
I am not proposing that Fedora *stop* using awstats. I love awstats.
I am trying to open the door for Jesse to explain to the Fedora
webmasters how we can make a few tweaks to enable Omniture, and why that
would be useful to the larger body of Red Hat, and be a reasonably
simple thing for Fedora to do.
Jesse, could you give these folks some details? I'm opening the door
for you, but you've gotta step through it :)
