Introduction
Currently, the product team at MindTouch is unable to make any data-driven decisions about distribution. We have no insight into how well our downloads are doing, or what platforms we are most successful.
Purpose
At the end of this project, MindTouch should:
- Visualize the daily distribution of MindTouch through all official MindTouch download sources
- Understand the effect of changes throughout the download experience (website, landing pages)
- Create a basis for data-driven metrics for future engineering quarterly goals
- Coordinate marketing and engineering resources to focus on successful distributions
- Make data-driven informed decisions about platform changes
- Lay the foundation (future phase) for being able to hook-in our Loopfuse data to understand from beginning to end how many users are successfully making it through the download experience
- Lay the foundation (future phase) for being able to hook-in a future opt-in statistics service inside MindTouch to understand usage throughout MindTouch deployments
Intended Audience
This feature is intended for MindTouch engineering to understand how and where MindTouch is being utilized.

Technical Specification
The purpose of this project is to create a system whereby users who have access to a database containing formatted download information can then display this information in a meaningful way inside MindTouch. The project has two main parts to it. The first will involve processing of raw information into formatted information that is then loaded onto the database. The second part of this project will be the retrieving and displaying of this information.
The first part of this application will allow a user who has Apache Logs and a MySQL database to automatically parse the Apache Logs and load them onto the MySQL database.
The second part of this application will allow a user who has access to a MySQL database to retrieve and display the data stored in the database as total downloads and unqiue downloads; both of these will support date subsets. An additional layer of computation based on this information will also allow users to analyze this data further by creating subsets from other fields along with regression calculation and geomapping of ip.
With this feature, users will be allowed to better analyze download statistics in a collaborative environment. By being able to analyze and display this data in real time, it will be a great asset in assessing the audience of certain downloads and the affect that both external and internal variables have on the demand of the product.
