Found out about this recently, the IRC Support SIG has been using it
to track statistics on #fedora:
PISG, the Perl IRC Stats Generator:
http://pisg.sourceforge.net/
I've actually set up PISG before.
Funny enough i just commented on my feelings about IRC stats on another email.
Here is an example of it's use from #fedora; Scott has been
tracking
stats for a long time
http://theglaserfamily.org/ircstats/fedora-weekly.html
We could use some hostmasks to tell, e.g., @redhat.com NAT pools,
etc. When people have a Fedora hostmask, we could know more of who
they are.
Rather than rewrite this, could we look at ways to incorporate other
projects in as part of an 'EKG toolki'? Or should we be looking at a
larger toolkit that EKG is just a part of?
I'm not sure how to go about this offhand. PISG does things in a
fundamentally different way. It's also written in the Pathelogically
Eclectic Rubbish Lister, which means it's hard to airlift chunks of
code from one place to another. I think making EKG a part of a
toolkit is a better plan in the long run, but i'm wondering, a toolkit
of 'what'?
