Anyone who would like to know more about how our website tracking

say that you will find it far superior to awstats having been a user
of awstats in the past.
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 :)

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.
