Hi,

The OpenVPN Inc. webmaster would like to add Google Analytics to
community.openvpn.net, i.e. our Trac wiki/bug tracker. I said we need to
consult the community first because GA can be seen as a form of spying.
Here's our webmaster's view on this subject:

[...]

"The goal of this would be to understand what information first-time
users are finding the most valuable on community.openvpn.net."

"As this is a publicly accessible community without the requirement to
join to read the articles, it would be advantageous for all to
understand which pieces of content the public are finding the most
useful, what encourages them to become a part of the community, and what
potentially persuaded them to use start using a commercial product."

In today's community meeting there was some concern about the spying
aspect of Google Analytics, but nobody was strongly opposed. This was I
believe, in part, because it is fairly easy to block Google Analytics if
one so wishes.

So, what do _you_ think?


Hi,

I would propose to evaluate the usage of Matomo (former Piwik) as analytics tool which is much more privacy friendly than Google Analytics:
