Hi all, I would like to propose setting up a google analytics account for monitoring access to logging.apache.org.
This has been discussed on @legal-discuss before, specifically by the Jackrabbit devs [1]. The conclusion was that this is legally acceptable if a privacy policy such as [2] is posted on the web site. This was also confirmed in an ASF board meeting [3]. The relevant extract being: > * Henning to communicate that every project that uses Google Analytics > needs to have a published privacy policy. > Update: > henning: Jukka and legal-discuss pursued this and produced > http://jackrabbit.apache.org/privacy-policy.html, > which is great. I will send out mail later this week > to pmcs@ and remind them of this and that they have > to update their web sites if they are using GA. By > using this page as template, it should be easy. Additionally, for better transparency, Jackrabbit devs decided to post monthly generated analytics reports to the dev list. However, this seems optional. I have done some investigation, and it is possible to create a single analytics account for the logging.apache.org domain and have multiple profiles which would track individual sub-project sites [4]. This would allow monitoring of both individual sites and the whole domain.
