Analytics meeting 2013-08-05

[16:02:45] <renoirb> here we go

[16:02:48] <julee> updates : fastly analytics.

[16:03:08] <julee> web, js, images, everything goes thru fastly

[16:03:25] <julee> probably

[16:03:37] <renoirb> it is assumed that fastly providing all assets: web, js, images, etc.

[16:04:01] <julee> 50K request/day

[16:04:06] <renoirb> 50000 requests everyday

[16:04:14] <renoirb> more sense than 16 000

[16:05:12] <julee> 2000-3000 page views / day

[16:05:54] <julee> piwik ^  ^

[16:06:13] <julee> so these two sets match up: all reqs. vs. pg views

[16:07:03] <julee> 1 unique request bi-passes fastly and goes to piwik.

[16:07:36] <julee> What's a reasonable goal?

[16:07:44] <julee> 10-20K page views/day

[16:08:01] <julee> We haven't tried to advertise the site.

[16:08:17] <julee> 1st we need open graph tags on the page

[16:09:09] <julee> Google wasn't able to parse everything, so it would be good to have structured content.

[16:09:37] <julee> Might be a mediawiki plugin that extracts og tags.

[16:09:49] <julee> Might need to be in the skin, so shepazu will look.

[16:10:04] <julee> AI: Renoirb to investigate mediawiki

[16:10:30] <julee> Separate piwik from the installation.

[16:10:41] <julee> During the weekend, piwik crashed everything again.

[16:10:52] <julee> Fixed now, but could happen everyting.

[16:11:31] <julee> nginx too.

[16:11:50] <julee> After piwik is on it's own system, patrickdsouza will do a dashboard.

[16:12:16] <julee> patrickdsouza will send out a wireframe tomorrow.

[16:13:10] <julee> Dependency: mediawiki cron job to pull the data for piwik dashboard.

[16:13:16] <renoirb> Create a job to extract data and dump in some storage

[16:13:26] <julee> AI: renoirb ^    ^

[16:13:59] <julee> Piwik dashboard is an overall priority.

[16:14:32] <julee> Mediawiki stats.webplatform.org/track/index.php<http://stats.webplatform.org/track/index.php>

[16:14:59] <julee> http://docs.webplatform.org/w/api.php

[16:15:15] <julee> wiki/API:Meta#siteinfo_.2F_si

[16:15:48] <julee> Mediawiki just aggregates data, so we may need to run every hour.

[16:16:02] <julee> Dump it into a table and send it to piwik

[16:16:17] <julee> AI: patrickdsouza to help renoirb work this out.

[16:16:55] <shepazu> http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Special:Statistics

[16:17:03] <julee> http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages

[16:18:09] <julee> To get user data: phase 1: time series data on unique user data.

[16:18:32] <julee> Phase 1 is visitors and page edits.

[16:19:03] <julee> Phase 2: integrate everything from mediawiki.

[16:19:05] <julee> Such as http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Special:ActiveUsers

[16:19:22] <julee> Are pages getting a lot of traffic.

[16:19:25] <julee> ?

[16:19:44] <julee> Are we getting traffic on the blog posts?

[16:20:20] <julee> Piwik has a separate site for blog

[16:21:14] <julee> AI: shepazu to set up renoirb on piwik

[16:21:53] <julee> AI: renoirb to check www.webplatform.org<http://www.webplatform.org/> has piwik and get it on there if there isn't.

[16:22:20] <julee> Dashboard has 2 purposes:

[16:22:26] <renoirb> AI: renoirb < Install Piwiki call on the Homepage (confirmed, not there)

[16:22:31] <julee> 1. For our own use: so we can track and plan.

[16:22:56] <julee> 2. Share at least some portion of the statistics on the landing page: to show we have activity.

[16:23:11] <julee> We're moving to a dynamically generated page.

[16:23:17] <julee> Expose the stats as an API call.

[16:23:39] <julee> AI: renoirb to work on the home page & adding analytics API.

[16:24:19] <julee> will use a cached version of piwik data, for performance.

[16:25:11] <julee> What do stewards expect?

[16:25:30] <julee> A typical dashboard. We'll pass them the prototype and get their feedback.

[16:25:56] <julee> We're only collecting anon. data, so everything can be public.

[16:26:38] <julee> 4500 pages

[16:27:04] <julee> Any page goals? # of pages?

[16:28:09] <julee> List of all pages we want to have: reference pages: elements, attribs, apis,

[16:28:13] <julee> And then tutorials.

[16:28:24] <julee> That would be the goal # of pages.

[16:31:15] <julee> Probably double # of pages in the next 6-1 year.

[16:31:41] <julee> But # of pages is a housekeeping matter.

[16:32:22] <julee> Number of pages that have been edited would be a better metric to track.

[16:33:15] <julee> 25% of our content is at 80% finished.

[16:33:36] <julee> 10K pages.

[16:37:12] <julee> If we get 5K/day. That's 1.8 million hits/year.

[16:38:06] <julee> Add og tags, and optimized.

[16:38:11] <julee> More markup work.

[16:39:24] shepazu http://www.w3schools.com/about/about_pagehits.asp

[16:39:47] <julee> renoirb needs to optimize the system we have.

[16:40:59] <julee> w3schools: "25 million Visits Every Month"

[16:41:17] <julee> …"1,100,000,000 Pages Displayed in 2012"

[16:41:58] <julee> Goal is 10mil/year

[16:42:15] <julee> ooops: 10K/day

[16:42:25] <julee> pv : page views

[16:42:32] <julee> 10K pv / day

[16:43:20] <julee> 1000-1500 pages ready. These are our plp for now.

[16:43:29] <julee> We should focus on getting those pages optimized.

[16:43:55] <julee> Yoke how complete a page is with how popular that page is.

[16:44:56] <julee> percent complete based on field completed.

[16:45:25] <julee> flag for page improvements

[16:45:48] <julee> plus edits > 3 or 5

[16:46:06] <julee> MW flag for page complete?

[16:46:35] <julee> Useful for unicorn

[16:46:55] <julee> We do currently fine-grained api

[16:47:20] <julee> So, if field is not null, % goes up

[16:47:34] <julee> Keywords...

[16:48:01] <julee> Biggest gains are to be in areas of web platform that haven't been doc'd as much.

[16:48:15] <julee> SVG

[16:48:18] <julee> !

[16:48:34] <julee> Scott was managing the DOM APIs

[16:48:39] <julee> CSS properties.

[16:49:02] <julee> 500+ CSS properties, 300+ we're focused on.

[16:50:08] <julee> JS is the next project that we'll propose to the community.

[16:51:01] <julee> JS import will have nicer content from the beginning.

[16:51:09] <julee> Promises & futures.
