I hope for some nice OWA plugins next times. See you Zeeland OWA is cool, not so complex like google analytics, but smart. I hope for some nice OWA plugins next times.

I have been receiving their mailing list and Peter does fix bugs really quickly -- faster than vendors! :) I'm eager to see if the OWA community grows and the technology builds momentum. Please let me know how you extend the technology. Buona fortuna! Ciao Stefano: Excellent to learn that you are finding OWA useful.

i tried it as wordpress plugin and, after i found out a bug (fixed in a couple of hourse! wow!), i’m collecting data ;)

i hope i have chance to try it with a programmer to see what and how we can get other (customized?) data from owa.

thanks again.

As big time fan of open source, FSF, I even enjoy Stallman! I would suggest you send an email to Peter, and start adding your thoughts in the mix. You are a very talented individual and the "fun" you reference will only come sooner with your input! Eric: Good point about the Univeral Tag. In addition, I'd like to see us all thiniking about an RDF (resource description framework) for web analytics. And thanks for getting it working for we Web 2.0 geeks... Diarizing: I'm glad I helped to make the introduction, and please make sure to update me here on how it's progressing. Clint: Also good to hear your installing and using it with few troubles. With your experience and knowledge, I'm looking forward to reading your reviews on your blog. In fact, I plan to instantly cognate them. :) Steve: I couldn’t agree with you more.

I just downloaded the code and will try and get it running on WAD for you and I to play with. I have been thinking a lot lately about how web analytics data collection and reporting can be separated ... with an eye towards the "universal tag" that many folks have debated over the years. Perhaps the OWA framework will allow for this separation. Cheers! E. Judah, nice find! I just downloaded the code and will try and get it running on WAD for you and I to play with.

I use it in combination with Google Analytics, and really like having both tools to see as much as possible about my site visitors." The key there being "reporting". Getting people away from reporting into analytics & action is hard. A name change won't do it alone. :-) BTW: By "free" I suspect the answer is "freedom". The code is GPL2.0'd. While Peter's goals and my own projects goals appear to be similar, albeit via very different directions/focus; I've seriously contemplated having a chat with him to see if we could, in some way, work together to our mutual benefit. But it looks early days for his stuff, so I'll hold off for a bit and take a wait and see. :-) Where it gets really fun, is when all these different projects start working closely together. Then the fun *really* starts. Plugging into each others API's and so on. Interesting times.... Came across it myself via linux.com last week:

Interesting times….
