I will be happy to take ownership of that issue.  Specifically I'm
thinking of:

* how to educate all the members of the Marketing team for a
  consistent SOP and approach for F13 Beta and GA

* what sort of measurements we might want from the logs

* how we can use that information to influence the list of materials
  we produce in the Marketing team

For instance, if we find that a large proportion of our clicks to
download are coming from one document we produce for a release, and
very few from another, we might want to use that information to decide
to dig deeper into numbers of actual wiki/web page visits.  If we
found that the second page actually got very few visits, we could
re-evaluate whether we want to keep producing it, or whether we should
revamp the way it's used or linked to.
