SoC web analytics api

(Return to the main idea page for the Google Summer of Code)

Overview

Implement the website analytics API from http://www.openwebanalytics.com and provide core plugin API calls so that plugins can also add metric related stats.

Objective

• Develop a set of core API services
• Add support for plugins
• Add calls so all core GL modules are instrumented
• Develop the admin interface to control what level of detail and modules will have data collected.
• Develop the reports that are needed. Need tabular and some graphical reporting with export to Excel. Investigate how other projects have implemented the same API and also explore the Google Analytics application for inspiration.
