I wanted to say that gamma.sympy.org won't be visited by many visitors in the beginning, which may allow a human eye even to extract some information. However, this assumption may become invalid very quickly, so yes, collecting and analysing data automatically is the way to go, although it's not immediately straightforward how to do it.
