Omniture & Fedora
by Max Spevack 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Fedora Webmasters: A while back (maybe back when we were still split between fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org), we had some code on a few of our pages that allowed basic web statistics to be sucked into Red Hat's larger web traffic analysis program -- the stuff that tracks visits for redhat.com, jboss.com, etc. Red Hat uses something called Omniture for this. http://www.omniture.com/ In Fedora, we use awstats to track lots of things about people who visit *.fedoraproject.org, and I personally find those stats to be very interesting and revealing. The folks who manage Red Hat's Omniture stuff would like to add in a little bit of tracking into Fedora's websites. My understanding is that this would involve the addition of some Javascript on *selected* pages (perhaps index.html, get-fedora.html, join.html, release notes, whatever. We can discuss that). The purpose of adding this in would be to allow Red Hat's larger web analysis group to see how Fedora traffic compares to and maps to other Red Hat traffic. This would be valuable to them, and I would ask the Fedora Websites team to allow Jesse Eversole (Red Hat engineer who I have copied on this message) to share more details with you and then consider the proposal. Thank you for your time. --Max

The CSS file (http://fedoraproject.org/style.css) is relatively referencing the border images that are not present at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/. I haven't yet edited anything here (or know if I even can), but that would seem to be the issue to me. Patrick Today's Topics: > > 1. the largest generator of 404s (Max Spevack) > 2.

To download the DVD image for F8, I went to http://fedoraproject.org/, and clicked on "Get Fedora" in the left hand column. That took me to http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora. Now, I may be getting blind in my old age, but I see no reference to [check|sha1|md5|etc...]sums on that page. To get the sha1sums (and the rescue CD image) I grabbed the URL of the DVD ISO, edited out the file name of the ISO file, and opened that URL (http://limestone.uoregon.edu/ftp/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/iso/) in another tab. I was then able to pull in the rest of the kit. How about providing direct links to these files on the download page? > > Before *you* download another four gigs, do that check, and see if what > you've downloaded is fine.

That's fine for folks using Windows. However, news flash: there are other operating systems in the world: Mac OS X, Free BSD, HP-UX, and one you may not have heard of called "Linux". > http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/ Again, as near as I can tell, no discussion of check sums or how to get and use them. And the main download page should have direct links to this sort of stuff. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
