[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [Evergreen-web-team] adding a page to the wiki

An interesting thought actually. We *do* have Piwik analytics tracking
activity on the Evergreen website (see http://evergreen-ils.org/piwik)
I'm not entirely sure how best to read the data, but it does give us
some basic information about which pages people are looking at. I'll
have to ask Anoop about administration of the Piwik instance, it looks
like we're running on an older version still and I'm not sure if we're
running any of the cron jobs to compile the statistical data for yearly,
etc.
If you click on the "Actions" tab, then go to "Pages", you can view the
top pageviews / unique pageviews per page of the website. This doesn't
necessarily mean people are clicking through the menu to these pages (we
don't see to have specific actions setup for tracking yet as "Goals"),
but it might be a general indication of what people are looking at most
often for a given time period (by default it shows you the current date).
Fun thing I enjoy doing is occasionally peeking at the dashboard entry
for Visitor Countries to see if we had any new international visits :)
Either way, maybe we can use some of the data collected there to come up
with a "most viewed" list order?
