Piwik is an open source web analytics software. It gives interesting reports on your website visitors, your popular pages, the search engines keywords and etc… Piwik is built with plugins: you can add new features and remove the ones you don’t need. Piwik being installed on your server, the data is stored in your own database. You can very easily embed your graphs in your blog or website or dashboard.
If you are a developer, you can definitely help. One of their main mid term objective is to make it easy for external developers to build plugins for Piwik. Help is also welcome if you want to work on the core of Piwik: there are lots of interesting problems to solve, new features to implement and bugs to fix.

Come on, this is alpha version… I thought WebAppers present best and “readdy to use” software - I prefer stable analog 6.0 than piwik alpha, even if it looks awsome and so Web 2.0.
Why not just use Google Analytics?
I wish awsats had that thing where I could post the data onto my website..
One to keep an eye on I think. Personally I loved using Mint (http://haveamint.com/), but not willing to shed $30 for every site I run
Google wins at this game I think!
unbelievable bad designed application. i´m sticking with google-analytics …
Looks alright for an alpha. Lots more work to go!
I’ll go with Stef, whats wrong with Google Analytics?
I only like mint because it looks pretty. But as far as actual analytics is concerned - Google is king at the game (especially since its free)
Superb application! Stef, many times google analytics it’s not the best solution, specially for certain type of sites.
Why NOT go with google?
Google monitor all your searches and where you go on the internet (adwords are on most sites) they time how long you are on a site before your next search.
They also use analytics to monitor all sorts about you and where you browse.
Also as a site owner you give google a HELL of a lot of very valuable info about your site using analytics.
So it kinda comes down to - do you trust google? Do you care about who is looking at all your site stats?
Personally I don’t care, but I’m glad piwik is around if I did care
It’s all about privacy and choice

BTW piwik charts are amazing

Why NOT use Google? Well, other than the obvious aspect of Google continuing to keep their Analytics software proprietary… Projects like Piwik give hope to the open source development community by providing alternatives against the big names… That’s why some people would choose to NOT go with Google (among other big names).
Thanks,

Google analytics is a privacy nightmare. They give away so they can collect information about YOU.
Unfortunately, Piwik is a security nightmare. I set it up to track two websites and it was hacked ( the user table was reset to zero ) in less then 1/2 hour.
Mrx, if you think there might be a security problem, you should tell the development team. However for your problem it seems more like a wrong manipulation.
