Hi everyone, I would like to propose that we stop using Google Analytics on xwiki.org . I haven’t yet heard of any decision or analysis that we did with the collected data since I joined XWiki now almost three years ago, and therefore I suggest we stop collecting it and ask Google to delete the coll…

ok so we have 3 +1 (+ gabriel) that are ok to move to Matomo (I’m assuming @MichaelHamann is at least +0 for the Matomo move even if I understand he’d prefer to not move to anything). AFAIK @gabrielc is working on it and is close to having something ready. Thx

+1 to move to Matomo. We do look at XWiki.org data from time to time to see how we evolve in term of usage of the web site and this requires historical data. We’re going to loose the history from GA so we’ll need some export to be able to compare in the future. Thx

I know for sure that data from GA can be imported into Matomo. However, I didn’t yet get far enough to try out this functionality, but it should be possible!

+1 for remove GA, and +0 for Matomo

Note that we forgot (I forgot for sure) to add GA to https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HServers Reminder to add Matomo if/when we move to it. EDIT: idk how far we want to go. We might want to add CF too…

Update: The Matomo instance has been created. The instance is hosted under an xwiki.com domain. The idea is to add xwiki.org as another domain on that instance, alongside other XWiki SAS domains. Data is not visible between domains, except for superadmins, that have access to all the data of all web…

First, thank you to XWiki SAS to accept to sponsor a matomo instance for xwiki.org . @gabrielc Ideally I’d prefer to have a domain like analytics.xwiki.org (and it could forward internally to a xwiki.com domain). Note that the reason for analytics.xwiki.org vs matomo.xwiki.org is because in the futu…

Hello!! I’ve talked with the marketing team on the XWiki SAS side. [image] vmassol: @gabrielc Ideally I’d prefer to have a domain like analytics.xwiki.org (and it could forward internally to a xwiki.com domain). Note that the reason for analytics.xwiki.org vs matomo.xwiki.org is because in the …

[image] gabrielc: We’d be able to only provide a maximum of 2 accounts - 1 with view rights, 1 with admin rights ok, thx. However we don’t care about that business bundle FTM (see below) and since Matomo is an open source project, I guess we could have as many users as we want, no? [image…

[image] vmassol: I don’t think we need any of threse plugins FTM. Ok. In that case, if everyone agrees, we could do the following: Add analytics.xwiki.org as an alias to one of the Matomo instances hosted by XWiki SAS (instance without paid plugins) Offer unlimited user accounts to the XWik…

Just as an update. The alias analytics.xwiki.org has been added to the Matomo instance hosted by XWiki SAS. A new website “XWiki Community” has been created inside that Matomo instance, and Vincent has been added as an admin to that website. The instance is ready to use at any time. The only thing…

Stop using Google Analytics on XWiki.org

I agree.

Thx for the stats!

I’ve now removed GA from xwiki.org and updated https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/LegalNotice/?viewer=changes&rev1=8.1&rev2=9.1&

Thanks
