hey guys,
The goal of this tracker is to determine how many folks we have
installing fedora, right?
If we can assume that it is likely that a user will be using
yum/pirut/puplet in a default install then we should be able to gather
the information on how many folks are using it (hence installing fedora)
from the mirrors.fedoraproject.org mirrorlist generating program. It'll
track hits against it and we can then mine those logs for the number of
users w/o obtaining much other information than 'they used
yum/pirut/puplet'.
It also requires nothing of us other than putting a log watcher on
fedoraproject.org.
Does that track unique users or just hits? Hits isn't that interesting.
Unique visitors is.
it's just a url running under apache. It tracks what apache tracks
whenever someone hits a page. So, yes, definitely tracking unique
visitors.
There are only two ways that I know of to track unique visitors. 1.
Cookies or 2. Explicit registration (or registration behind the scenes.)
I suspect you're thinking of unique IPs (as greg mentions in other
email?) Or do pup + friends track using cookies?
