Description

Authors of individual cookbooks currently have no way of accessing any usage metrics of their content. These metrics are always helpful when reporting back to funders, employers, etc.

We are currently using google analytics to gather usage metrics for everything hosted on projectpythia.org. Some limited metrics are publicly displayed on our custom metrics page, but there is no way for individual authors who don't have access to the analytics data to see the specific numbers for their pages.

Access to metrics data should be automated somehow, perhaps at time of "publication" on the Pythia gallery.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the custom metrics page at metrics.html and how Google Analytics currently collects usage data for projectpythia.org. Trace the cookbook publication flow in the Pythia gallery and determine how authors could receive page-specific metrics automatically. Done means a defined, maintainable way for individual cookbook authors to access their content's usage numbers.
