someone had set up (but never configured and implemented) an open source analytics solution for sudoroom.org called piwik http://piwik.org/

do we have interest in running an analytics solution to have better information to improve user experience for the site?

I'd consider setting it up, but don't have strong feelings at the moment. I'm inclined to have less data about users, but having some data could be valuable to provide better service. 

what do folks think?

There are other open source web analytics options too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_analytics_software#Free_.2F_Open_source_.28FLOSS.29
