Generally, goals are attached to actions: downloading something, registering, buying, etc. http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55515 > - if so, is this a "release-critical" goal before the new website > goes live, or something we can add 3 months later? > - can goals only be reached by clicking on a link on a page, or > can they be reached just by arriving at a page? Yes, it is even more common: typically, the goal is put on the "Thank you for buying X" page that concludes a ecommerce transaction. I think you need to put the .js snippet in the <script> section of the page somewhere. Reading a page is not that interesting if it is not accompanied by a real action though. > - who's going to write the patch to add it to our build system? > do we dump it in script/build/website_post.py, or work it into > the texinfo init file, or use a manual "@html...@end html" in > the doc source, or add the raw html to our doc macros, or...?

Perhaps if you have forms for sending mail, they may be an interesting target too. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [email protected] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
