Anyone who would like to know more about how our website tracking infrastructure works please feel free to contact me. It suffices to say that you will find it far superior to awstats having been a user of awstats in the past.
Hi Jesse. The question of superiority isn't interesting. Fedora is very very committed to doing what it needs to get done using completely opensource products when possible. (I say when possible to avoid derailed discussions about PC bioses and router firmwares)
The reality is that Fedora itself would not make use of any thing that Omniture may learn from our site. We're doing just fine with awstats, and anything we feel is missing from awstats we'd work with the upstream to provide that functionality.
However, if Red Hat as a corporation feels that they need to gather some information about the Fedora websites, and that information is only available through Omniture, and getting data to Omniture is only possible through runtime java scripts, that's something else to discuss.
Can you explain what the java scripts are, how they work, what license they're under, etc..?
