I was recently asked by the Esperanto press for visitor statistics for the year. I realize that grabbing the statistics is a very traffic consuming process, but could we at least allow it to happen once a year so we can see how much traffic we're really getting or are we purging the logs regularly?
Thanks, Chuck

The logs produced are many gigabytes per day; there's simply no way we can store them for any long period.
Currently we simply have logging disabled on the squid caches. It improves performance and we weren't able to do anything regularly with them anyway...
Some nonintrustive statistical logging would probably be useful, but this hasn't happened yet.

Could you just log one in 1000 accesses? Hardly statistical in the fancy sense, but you'll end up with megabytes instead of gigabytes and you can multiply to get approximations of the actual numbers.

I dont think that can be done with squid :p
Hoi, Recently we had AOL day. Do we know how relevant the figures from Alexa are and, do we have a clue how relevant it is on a world scale. Of particular interest is also what their figures indicate about how relevant we are in a specific language..
The big suprise to me was the importance of the Russian Wiktionary..
Thanks, GerardM
