Hi Forresters,
We discussed a bit (with Steven) about building apache
projects/hosts/etc stats, which is one of the tasks for the Forrest, so
I guess this announcement is not completely offtopic on this list.
I'd like to announce a page I put together which to show off some of the
stats which I was able to extract from the log files (with minimum
memory consumption). These stats in no sence are complete or correct,
but an attemp to build complete and correct stats.
URL for the page is:
http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/index.html
Images are updated daily (and some of them - weekly), at night. Site is
statically generated using Forrest.
Please take a look and send your suggestions, opinions, flames.
Regards,
Vadim

It was one of the original plans for Forrest, to put up some stats up
the different projects (downloads, mails sent on the lists, etc etc)
What would be good is to have a low impact way of extracting whatever
kind of data we can make sense of from the server logs (like
user agents, top downloads, busiest website, etc etc).
Now that we start playing with the idea of going independent with
cocoon.apache.org, that should take into account aggregating several
logs, too... Hmmmpff.
I don't know ATM, maybe we should just take your data as a test stream
and see how we can work with it in Forrest (for the xml.apache.org
front site). And if people like it, they will add more streams and
we'll finally have that 'Apache project dashboard' displaying all
kinds of interesting (and other) data.
My point was that finite steps are difficult to aggregate starting
from XML, so maybe cumulative would be better. This all depends on the
frequency of sampling of course - for weekly stats, you still can show
them in a trend chart and make sense of it.
But we'd better move this to forrest-dev so that others can tell their
opinion too.
