# NewsStats

**NewsStats** is a software package to extract live data from an INN newsfeed and generate statistics from it.

## Description

**NewsStats** stores overview data and complete headers of all incoming postings (in one or more specific Usenet hierarchies) in real time in a MySQL database. This raw dataset can then be analysed regularly, e.g. monthly, for instance in terms of postings per group and month. The analysis results will also be stored in a database which in turn can be used to generate various reports.

The software package is still under development.

It is currently used to generate the monthly statistics posted to `de.admin.news.lists` for the de.\* hierarchy.
