I believe that a web site will eventually become a major hub of communications even for direct service organizations. And in your case, as the head of a nonprofit open source organization, I think you’re going to find that not publishing site statistics will cause you more grief than you think. That dog won’t hunt.

If nonprofits want to have a good fundraising platform that they can know won’t be bought and swallowed and changed so that they’ll have to shell out more, it’s time to invest money and effort in an open source platform.
