Work Unit Statistics from Stanford

[zodac]

Do Stanford have a system in place that counts the number of each WU project that's been sent out in a day?

Like how many Project 6012 WUs, or Project 5745 WUs were given out, successfully returned, not returned, failed each day?

And if not, is it a possibility?

It's certainly POSSIBLE to design a system that would count WUs like that but
1) If there is a system such as that in place, I don't know about it and I don't have access to the data.
2) If there is no such system, I doubt that there will be one added. A simple cost-benefit analysis says that there probably is no scientific benefit of such a system and there would be a cost to build such a system and to gather the data and report the totals.

Personally, I like the idea, but item 2 overrules my preferences.

But would it be that difficult to implement? The already have the number of WUs in each serve on the server page; it wouldn't take much for them to count them all up.

Then a site like EOC could take those stats and jazz them up a bit.

[RAH]

With the old PG stats pages, I would think that would be fairly easy to do. As it did count each WU type done
per folder. But since they have stopped it, don't know if it can be brought back up, or if its compatiable with
the new software.

So, this forum is the best place to make suggestions, right?

Or should I try and get in contact some other way? I'd quite like to see this happen. It surely can't be as difficult as coding the new clients.

[7im]

Yes, this is the right place.

However, as mentioned above, difficulty is not the hurdle here. Cost/Benefit analysis puts something like this somewhat lower on the priority list, than say, coding new clients.

Sorry, this one is low on the priority list, esp since we are in the midst of a complete code overhaul (new WS, new client in the works).

[zodac]

Alright, now that i know that it is actually on the list, I can sleep sound.

Thanks.
