Piwik restrospective; What happens in the first 6 months of the project? What is the state of the community? What did we do great? What are our flaws? Where is the future going?

1. Piwik 2008 restrospective London Saturday, 5th July 2008

5. Traffic overview The first months of Piwik have been very fun, as the web buzzed a lot about us! I built these graphs using the Piwik API to get the web analytics data

7. ~ 80 visits per day BUZZ! ~ 2500 visits per day ~ 900 visits per day

8. They buzzed! And generated a lot of traffic that helped increase awareness of Piwik

15. Overview of the community Building a developers community is one of our ultimate goal. Where are we today?

20. Users community What do people think about Piwik?

22. Thanks for building a great product. Even thought it is Beta I have installed it on a new shopping site that I am building. It is running side by side with Google Analytics. - Patrick

23. I must tell you we are REALLY EXCITED about the promise of Piwik. We currently use Google Analytics and are desperate to use something that we can control, like Piwik. - Todd

24. Found Piwik last week and I’ve been really excited about it. I’ve been testing it out on a few sites and am _really_ excited about the possibilities that an API offers. I’m not sure if I could help, but I’d love to help where I can. - Bett

25. I personally have a bit of experience working with Ominute, Hitbox, and Google Analytics, and the idea of an open source alternative to these tools sounds very exciting. Across our network of sites, we average about 60m pageviews / month and growing, and I was wondering if that level of load is within the scope of Piwik, given the proper hardware to support it. I’d love to find a way to help the Piwik project get to the point where it could handle millions of pageviews / month. - Jonathan
