<p><span dir="auto"><span class="autocomment">Counting Downloads</span></span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Overview ==<br /> <br /> Infrastructure work to support a uniform Slicer web presence. <br /> Work building on [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/AHM_2006:ProjectsSlicer3WebPresence AHM 2006 Project Slicer3 Web Presence]<br /> <br /> Requirements:<br /> * counting number of downloads of Slicer binaries<br /> * record user information as they agree to abide by the Slicer license agreement<br /> * integrated download page that will provide links to binary Slicer packages, for nightly builds, developer snapshots, and official releases<br /> <br /> == Counting Downloads ==<br /> <br /> We need the ability to report number of unique Slicer binaries downloaded per month and per grant year, per release version, as well as aggregate numbers. <br /> Needed for grant reporting. The old method involved examining the flat files written as output from the Slicer license agreement web form and counting numbers of discrete entries by hand. <br /> <br /> Current page: http://websrv.bwh.harvard.edu/usage/na-mic-usage/ <br /> <br /> Do we need to parse the apache download logs directly or use multiple configuration files for [http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/ Webalizer]?<br /> <br /> Inspiration page: [https://simtk.org/project/stats/?group_id=91 SimTK download statistics] and [https://simtk.org/project/stats/usagemap.php?group_id=91 SimTK geography of use].<br /> <br /> Publications data base download page implemented at http://www.na-mic.org/Special:Publications with admin interface to see the [http://www.na-mic.org/Special:PubDB_Stats Download statistics].<br /> <br /> From Ron 12 Sept 2007:<br /> Don't over report! (missing 1% is okay)<br /> No duplicate downloads.<br /> Disclose the method by which we are counting (report to NIH).<br /> <br /> '''Update''': I have modified the download scripts to start counting downloads. The results are stored in a MySQL database on na-mic1. Here is how I'm going to proceed from this point:<br /> #I'm will create a new page that displays how many times Slicer3 has been downloaded within a given period of time.<br /> #I will improve the appearance of the downloads section per Ron's request<br /> #Work on generating a nightly package of Slicer3 using CPack<br /> <br /> [[User:Zack|Zack]] 09:38, 2 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == License Agreement ==<br /> <br /> We need to record some basic information from users so we have a record of their agreeing to the Slicer license agreement. Needed for grant reporting in conjunction with download counting.<br /> <br /> Current page: [http://www.slicer.org/cgi-bin/License/SlicerLicenseForm.pl]<br /> <br /> The original license form was written as an HTML form that submitted data to a perl script that would verify the form entries and then write the user information to a series of flat files, one per month. <br /> <br /> The move to use Wiki2Web for the Slicer web pages complicates the issue, as the form has to be translated into a MediaWiki page that will translate to the final web page and still work. From Nicole 3 Aug 2007:<br /> <br /> Marianna and I were working on the Slicer License form this afternoon, trying to get it working within the wiki to web framework, and <br /> we've hit a major roadblock.<br /> Mediawiki isn't rendering the html form tag, it's printing it out as text.<br /> From looking at<br /> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox<br /> it seems like we could install an extension to get certain pre-defined input boxes, but<br /> a) we can't get the example to work (following the installation instructions)<br /> b) once we get the example to work, a new extension will have to be written in PHP to support the license form.<br /> <br /> == Download Page ==<br /> <br /> Current page: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/ http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/]<br /> <br /> Needs to be integrated into the Wiki2Web framework in such a way that supports automatic uploads from nightly builds, developer snapshot uploads, as well as automatic downloads of Windows prebuilt binary sub-packages during the building of Slicer.<br /> <br /> From Andy 4 Jun 2007:<br /> You could also create a MediaWiki extension for downloading files.<br /> Then you can use W2W to write text around the page, but use the extension to give you the list of files.<br /> <br /> From Ron 12 Sept 2007:<br /> Try progressive drop down menus, that will navigate you to the proper slicer version that you wish <br /> (ie latest release for your platform, or a release from a specific date)<br /> Goal: www.slicer.org/Download, click through the license, then see the drop down menus<br /> Major requirement: has to be '''very''' easy to use, no barriers for first time users.<br /> Needs to have same look and feel as the rest of the slicer.org pages<br /> <br /> == Team Members ==<br /> <br /> * Nicole Aucoin<br /> * Zack Galbreath<br /> * SPL system administrators</div>
