== Ideas for extending stats.clarin.eu ==

 * [https://plugins.piwik.org/ClickHeat Heatmap plugin]
 * [http://plugins.piwik.org/ShibbolethLogin Shibboleth plugin]

 * catalog.clarin.eu: https://catalog.clarin.eu/webstats/awstats/ (2013) and [https://catalog.clarin.eu/webstats/awstats/2012/ 2012]
 * user.clarin.eu: https://user.clarin.eu/awstats/awstats.pl
 * www.clarin.eu: awstats install requested at Utrecht University (uses currently google analytics)
