What

Issue #105 asks for two recommendations about analytics for project sites: how a project gets the numbers, and how it makes them available to its community. docs/analytics/index.md already covered the first half (Netlify Analytics, and a GA4 property through the CNCF Projects account). This adds the missing second half.

Fixes #105.

Changes

docs/analytics/index.md — new section Sharing analytics with your community:

  • Publish an analytics page. Summarize what the community cares about (most-viewed pages, top search terms, locales) and keep it current, with the Kubernetes viewing-analytics page as a concrete example to copy.
  • Report the highlights at community meetings. A short recurring update turns the data into decisions about what to document next, including release docs and localization work.
  • Ties both back to the sources already described above: Netlify Analytics is the lowest-setup option for Netlify-hosted sites (server-side, no cookie banner, enabled per site), while GA4 gives page-level detail for a public report.

Docs-only change; no code, no sidebar edit (the sidebar is autogenerated from the docs tree).

The analytics page explains how to obtain site analytics (Netlify Analytics,
a GA4 property through the CNCF Projects account), but says nothing about the
second half of issue cncf#105: making those numbers available to the community and
using them to prioritize docs work.

Adds a "Sharing analytics with your community" section covering:

- publishing an analytics page on the project site, with the Kubernetes
  viewing-analytics page as a concrete example to copy;
- reporting the highlights at community meetings so the data informs release
  docs and localization work;
- Netlify Analytics as the lowest-setup source when the site is hosted there,
  alongside GA4 for page-level detail.

Both added links were checked live (HTTP 200). Docs-only change.

Read the diff against docs/analytics/index.md at main and against issue #105. The content looks correct to me: the new "Sharing analytics with your community" section implements exactly the two recommendations the issue asks for (an analytics page, with the Kubernetes viewing-analytics page as the example, and recurring community-meeting reports), and the GA4 reference ("as described above") correctly points at the existing Google Analytics section. Markdown reference definitions are valid; both new links resolve.

Two notes for the author/maintainer:

  • DCO check is failing (merge blocker). The commit at f2af5a2 lacks a Signed-off-by line; this repo requires sign-off. Amending with git commit --amend -s and force-pushing resolves it.
  • Minor body inaccuracy: the PR body says the page "already covered the first half (Netlify Analytics, and a GA4 property)". The base docs/analytics/index.md covers only Google Analytics — Netlify Analytics is introduced by this diff. The diff is fine either way (issue #105 asked for the Netlify Analytics pointer too); only the description overstates the prior state.

No content defects found. Once DCO is fixed this looks ready for a maintainer's sign-off.
