Piwik is fast, gets results similar to Google Analytics and does the basic reporting I need. Now I am just waiting for Google Analytics import.

Firstly, the idea that the information provided by JavaScript based tools compared to say, log analyzers, is fallacious at best. The additional information and 'granularity' is seldom useful; indeed most of the statistics collected from software such as Awstats is not particularly useful. However, the difference is that Awstats uses data which is already available on my server without any additional client overhead. Conversely Piwik adds a JavaScript file, which needs to be both downloaded by the client browser and executed. Can it give information about direct downloads/hot links? No. Can it work for people who do not have JavaScript enabled? No. Can it give information about robots? No. Even if the interface is cute (and I don't deny that it is) it does not justify the overhead associated with acquiring such information. > Like with other statistics tools, using Piwik involves inserting a JavaScript code in the footer of the web page

Piwik is quite slow now and then (page loads sometimes take over 10 seconds). Furthermore is has less features and is also less intuitive as google analytics, but it's improving quickly and the current version is only 0.5.x. So developers also acknowledge it's not complete yet. I’ve played quite a lot with the GNOME piwik installation and also use Google Analytics quite a bit.

Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, and Android at least need to have their own thing. Thank you.
