Here is another preview of new functionality that is being tested
on the central ICOM Web site. Reports about the site's usage
statistics are available at:

     http://www.icom.org/stats/reports/

This is based on widely used software (linked to at the bottom of
the page) and, at this point, has only been minimally customized
for ICOM. The system has multilingual support and a French
equivalent to the current material will be provided if the
service is publicly released.

The problem is that the ICOM Web presence is distributed among
several sites internationally and truly useful statistics would
require merging information from all the servers. Prior to
undertaking any effort towards that end, I would be interested in
reactions to what is already there.

As ever, commentary likely to be of interest to other list
members should be addressed to the list, itself, at
[log in to unmask] Remarks solely intended for my
personal consumption should be addressed to [log in to unmask]
Beyond the first few communications sent to the list simply
expressing "thumbs up -- thumbs down" sentiment, such messages
will not be distributed individually. I'll summarize the results
of the "poll" once the returns are in.

Please do not mention the availability of the ICOM Web site
statistics on other lists or publications until the service has
been finalized.
