Great idea, but I see that it needs more than just "voice your support"; they are looking for a DSpace developer interested in making it happen. Anyone on this list?
I'm guessing it will probably be implemented in ePrints by next week, or slightly quicker than I can say Chris Gutteridge (;-),

Am I correct in this, Graham? You can also even do things of arguably less interest like find out who was using which browser, just to illustrate the sheer breadth of types of statistics offered by Google Analytics, for those who may not have seen them.

I was interested in the 'traffic sources' which Google Analytics provides, in order to discover the percentage of repository accesses via aggregated search services (using records harvested via OAI-PMH and hence oai-dc). Kara Jones kindly provided Google Analytics stats for Opus at the University of Bath, which showed traffic from only two aggregators (ScientificCommons and BASE), and accounting for just 0.85% and 0.21% of visits respectively in the last year. Google meanwhile accounts for 55.6% of visits (not including Google Scholar).

When I was a repository manager I had access to Google Analytics for my own institution's repository, as well as the DSpace stats, but I did wonder (a) how many other repositories were/are using Google Analytics; and (b) since these exist on private Google accounts, has anyone found any way to collect stats from multiple repositories over time in order to get a wider view. DSpace stats are less wide-ranging (although these may have been upgraded since then) but, if things remain as they were, they are publicly accessible. I have no information on other software platforms, e.g. EPrints, Fedora and commercial platforms, in this regard.
