Sourceforge offers Piwik to 150,000 Open Source projects!

3. PIWIK WEB ANALYTICS

SourceForge.net-hosted projects and developers host their content in a
variety of places, including our Project Web service, our Developer Web
service, and external web sites. It’s often unclear how many people you
are actually are actually reaching with your pages, and even more often
unclear where those users are in the world, what OS they are using, or how
long they are spending reading your pages. This is where web analytics
solutions come in to play.

SourceForge.net has launched the Piwik web analytics solution as part of
our growing Hosted Apps and Hosted Apps for Developers offerings, allowing
projects and developers to tag their web pages and obtain a comprehensive
set of analytics about their traffic. Piwik offers several ways to view
your analytics data, including dashboards, APIs and widgets that can be
embedded in your web pages — much more useful than a simple page counter.

More information

We are in contact with Sourceforge and we will make sure Sourceforge always uses the latest best release of Piwik. This has the potential to become one of the largest sets of installs of Piwik in one place.

With Piwik APIs, open source codes, extended plugin architecture, providing Piwik to hundreds or thousands of small websites is just a few API calls away. Check out the Piwik API documentation, the Piwik Demo and of course, Piwik on Sourceforge!

    It is a great marketing move to get Piwik on to Sourceforge, and is bound to lead to big buy in from loads of people seeking alternatives to Google Analytics.

    Just got the sf.net newsletter today (3 month delay? not bad, sf.net) – didn’t hear about Piwik before, so this is quite great.

    That’s brilliant. Get a new open source project used by 150,000 (or more) open source coders. That API might be getting a workout. ;-)

    Piwik is way cooler that GA, and I am not just saying that because i have a strong distaste for the hypocritical goog. :D

    Great news.
    The sooner more people move their stats away from Big G the better!
    I know Big G say they don’t share data between services, but if you had the heads up on real traffic flow, wouldn’t any business at least flag its Adsense division to have another look? Is that even data sharing?

    Let’s hope the new popularity spurs Piwik to create even better updates and sooner.

    Congratulations! Great news!

    Maybe this has convinced me to change over from GA to PIWIK…

  22. November 27, 2008 1:00 am

    Now this is Impressive… I was starting to wander when big news would be posted on your website… It was about time… So what’s the next step from this?

    That is really great news. It will spread the word about Piwik, at least in the Open-Scource family and soon it will be well known all over.

    You can be really proud of what you reached so far.

    I am already looking forward to the final release!
