Is there a way to log the username of the user if he
is signed into
wikipedia ?
From the gadget, yes. From the standalone, no. I
don't believe you can
confirm which user someone is without having them log in
or by using OAuth
to let your app identify them.
Should we just settle for the ip, time spent, article
visualized &
revisions visited as metrics.
I recommend this as a starting point.
Is it ok to log userinfo from a userscript ?
That is a good question. I have logged such information with gadgets in
the past. I think it is important to be straightforward about what you
will be logging to potential users. Otherwise, I'm not aware of policy
issues.
Should we only use the DB count? & How do we
measure the usage of
usescripts , since they can't be counted from the DB like
the gadgets ?
In the past, I've used the API to look at all of the user pages that end in
".js" to look for an import of my script that isn't *obviously* commented
out. (E.g. no comment character before the script import and no enclosing
"/* */" style comment around the import.) There ought to be a better way,
but I don't know if it.

Hi,
- The standalone version (
http://cosmiclattes.github.io/wikireplay/player.html)
- This will be on a different domain than en.wikipedia or the other
namespaces , (Toolabs, github.io etc)

Re. analytics, Jeph should be able to capture the
data he wants for
analytics via his tool with some logging code. If the issue is performing
analysis of the logged events, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

3) are you going to host this on Labs?
This is the tool that Jessie Wild pinged the Analytics list about last
week re:
capturing usage. (Thread: "Analytics for tools hosted on labs?").
That email was prompted by a conversation that Siko, Jessie and I had.
Basically, part of Jeph's grant involves an evaluation of Replay Edits,
for which he would need to log views and/or other usage data, potentially
using some analytics package like Google Analytics (or possibly he can gain
limited access to EventLogging?). Since it sounds like GA is
discouraged/forbidden on Labs, it might not be ideal for him to host the
project there initially--unless there's some more effective way for him to
gather the usage data he needs. Any ideas?
