Hi All,
Hopefully it's ok for me to add my $.02 here. While understanding where the
traffic is coming from is always helpful, it's possible to take a more active
approach to driving traffic. I also help with community marketing at RabbitMQ
(rabbitmq.com), which uses their platform to host tutorials, best practices,
and other content. I could find $$$ in my budget to help modernize the Geode
site and make it more generally useful as a content platform for developers and
others interested in the project.

Hi Michael,
A few things I'd like to know and potential associated actions:
* Where do our visitors come from (referrer)? -> We might be able to lean
in to those sources.
* Are we getting any traffic from our Twitter presence? -> If certain
tweets bring more traffic, let's do more of tweets like it!
* Some people in our community started blogging more. Are we seeing any
traffic from that? Are some topics driving more traffic than others ->
Might inform what topics or types of articles we should write more or less
off.
