Overview

Implement the website analytics API from http://www.openwebanalytics.com and develop a set of core API's so that both the CORE GL modules and plugins can generate metrics for usage and performance related stats.


Objective

  • Develop a set of core API services
  • Add support for plugins
  • Add calls so all core GL modules are instrumented
  • Develop the admin interface to control what level of detail and modules will have data collected.
  • Develop the reports that are needed. Need tabular and some graphical reporting with export to Excel. Investigate how other projects have implemented the same API and also explore the Google Analytics application for inspiration.
