 Core@ has discussed strongly moving to Google Analytics for
 www.freebsd.org.  Google Analytics is based on the Urchin product that
 we used previously before it was acquired by Google, but just entails
 us adding a javascript ping to the bottom of pages instead of
 analyzing http logs.  This has the advantage of providing information
 about screen resolution and other details not possible to collect from
 httpd access logs.  It also provides a much more detailed analysis of
 trends that allow you to drill down to different geographic regions,
 to see the most popular search terms that allow users to get to our
 site, where users lose interest in the site, etc..
 
 Please speak up here if you have concerns about moving to Google
 Analytics to provide better web usage statistics.
