Description Will Smythe

I need the ability to see how many people and who is visiting the main EDT page(s). I found this bug where Eclipse.org added support for Google Analytics: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225166 . If you do a View Source on our EDT pages, you'll see our pages are being tracked (but data is being rolled up to an Eclipse account). As far as I can tell, Eclipse does not expose this data to everyone. Other projects (like XText) have added their own key, which allows them to view stats for their site using their own Google IDs (not Eclipse's). Comment #25 shows how to add Google Analytics tracking to our pages: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225166#c25

Can we get this going? We can create the key under my Google account and then provide others access OR we can create an EDT Google account and then add others that need access to view (probably a better idea).

Triaged for iteration 9, which starts Monday.

I agree that having an account for EDT is better than using yours.  Does Google send the information to that account?  I'm wondering how to manage access and distribute the information.

Will, I created a Google account: edtdev@gmail.com.  I'll send the password and security question to you via email.  The recovery email is for the account is smythew@us.ibm.com.

Please create the Google Analytics account and send me the key.  Then I will update the EDT pages.

I made the change in _projectCommon.php (Google Analytics key: UA-24102411-1) so all of our pages will be tracked.  It'll take up to 24 hours before Google will start reporting data for the site.

I just checked the Google Analytics page.  It's working.
