More than just volume, what really shows the usage are activities. A good indicator would be to report the number of distinct login during the last 24 hours. Other interesting indicator would be the number of documents (existing, changed, delta between creation/deletion), activity stream could also be a source for measuring the level of activity of a wiki. Btw, measuring the level of activity of a wiki is also a need for farm administrators who needs to detect used and unused subwiki. > Since the data is anonymous and there’s no way to link it to any > company/user, I don’t feel it would generate a privacy issue. > > WDYT? > > Thanks > -Vincent > > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
