To me it was a long post and a question was well on the end. ;)

I cannot say what "adding website analytics tracking code" would mean.
Personally I do not accept cookies whereever I can and I am getting annoyed
by convulted URLs, obstructing the ease of linking to pages. In addition
I like personal data privacy which means that I would only track something 
that is absolutely necessary, which is not much for an information webpage.
So I have a tendency against adding "tracking" code in general.

Looking at the wiki and the webpages, I can see a number of content
improvements and I believe that good structure and content is the best
somebody can do for their success of a webpage. Given the limited resources 
there I would work on the obvious points first and then employ simplified 
usability tests with people we know to find the other obvious stuff that the 
webpages are missing. After these measures results like the Pwiki report can 
be useful.

Currently I would define a good performance for the webpage for our community 
differently than many of the data. A simpler hit statistic over time would be 
useful and I am interested in that.

Best,
Bernhard
