Well if you want to understand what it means then you need to know what the calculation is behind what awstat is doing! In this case I assume that it is telling you the number of unique IP addresses if there is no tracking cookie but that is a very poor approximation for the a number of visitors. Plus you asked about unique visitors to the tile server but now you want to know about unique visitors to our slippy map, which is an entirely different question as not everybody that uses our tile server uses our slippy map. >> Why do you want this information anyway? > > Because the person/organisation that gave OSM-NL last year around 10K in > euro, and now gave 28K to OpenStreetPhoto would like to know the unique > visitors, and I think that is a reasonable question... Every question seems reasonable to the person asking it, but as always the question is where to draw the line - do I have to conjure up whatever statistics people ask for no matter how much work it needs? Anyway, if you can get the appropriate people to authorise it, and you can clarify exactly what you want, then we might be able to do something when we get a minute.
