IRStats development

IRStats Development Goals

Features

• 'Browse View' style public stats.
• Non-public stats accessed via screen plugins.
• Default 'out-the-box' configuration.
• Generalisation to repository reporting tool. Graphs available on e.g. citation counts.
• the ability to see users paths through the site.
• the ability to gather stats about how pages are used in eprints. Example: "how many times is this button used compared to this button" or "does anyone actually use this feature"

Back End

• Full integration with EPrints Configuration.
• Replacement of ChartDirector with an open-source charting package.
• Anonymisation of downloaders to comply with privacy legislation.
