[drupal-devel] What do users do on my site?
Hi all! Above question is interesting for all site admins. I found a nice tool called pathalizer: http://pathalizer.bzzt.net/ that attempts to answer the question by looking at the Apache logs and generates nice graphics through graphviz. Steven made the drupal.org logs available and here is the result: http://killes.drupaldevs.org/tmp/drupal.org.log.pdf Note that only the most important paths are shown. Maybe this can give us some ideas. Cheers, Gerhard
that is very cool ... the translations get lots of hits. maybe it is time to offer drupal.org in a couple more languages? Gerhard Killesreiter wrote:

Not /that/ many. The number is always to the right of the arrow. 56 for translations, 236 for images. The logs were apparently not collected over a long period.

I don't think that a translation of the interface makes much sense if the content is in English. I wouldn't use a German interface on drupal.org. Cheers, Gerhard
(I'm moving this to infrastructure@drupal.org.) Take a look at the attached screenshot for similar information. - The fact that the download pages (project/releases, project/Themes and project/Modules) are that popular worries me, because they are hard to navigate. Better categorization of projects is important, and should be one of this mailing list's tasks. - Ditto for the 'Drupal sites' page. - The fact that the 'CVS messages' page is that popular surprises me. Combined with the above observations, it suggests that people are trying to track module and theme updates/development? More thoughts? On 22 Apr 2005, at 15:30, Gerhard Killesreiter wrote:

Hey, Great, tool, but even better that its used to optimize Drupal. :)
- The fact that the download pages (project/releases, project/Themes and project/Modules) are that popular worries me, because they are hard to navigate. Better categorization of projects is important, and should be one of this mailing list's tasks.
Steven (Wittens) & I discussed this thursday on IRC. The bottomlines are: * Downloading and project management are not the same. They need different areas/pages/interfaces. * Dowloads must be on *one* place, not on three. I updated http://drupal.org/node/20991, which deals with these issues.
- Ditto for the 'Drupal sites' page. Should be a nice thing for someone to look into. Maybe we could try something new and post a request for code (or so) on drupal.org home. Sure there will be some monkey with spare time, who wants to re-code this page and drupal.module. As it is now this page is negative marketing. Its so bad that it scares away people, instead of drawing them into Drupal!

Multiple people used to say that some taxonomy based categorization of the projects should be in order!
- Ditto for the 'Drupal sites' page.
Ditto :)
- The fact that the 'CVS messages' page is that popular surprises me. Combined with the above observations, it suggests that people are trying to track module and theme updates/development?
As I said it is a major failure, if the CVS module does not track project specific changes properly. Since the downloads are not reflecting contributed module updates, there is nothing else to track module channges, but the CVS messages. IMHO the CVS messages itself are easy to navigate now, in case they work :) But the other two pages really need more structure. Goba
