[Dspace-general] Statistics update

[Mark H. Wood]

There has been some good discussion of ways, means, and end products,
mostly by developers.  This is good, but we need more guidance from
end-users.  If "better statistics" in DSpace is important to you,
please chime in and tell us what "better statistics" means to you.

Here's a sketch of how things stand:

It's assumed that relevant download counts on each detail page plus
some sort of consolidated reports will meet most needs.

DSpace already has instrumentation in place to notice that something
has been viewed and pass that information to a plugin for
e.g. counting.  Work to improve this infrastructure is ongoing.

@mire has a statistics package in the works which they would like to
contribute.

It's understood that some sites would like to have access to the data
for processing by other products.

Attention is being paid to modularity, so if you don't like the
statistical features that will come with DSpace :-O it should not be
too hard to replace them.

Is this what you're looking for?
