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.
