Okay. Is everyone going to pony up for a self-hosted analytics box and the time to manage it? No? Of course not. Everyone wants to complain, no one would contribute resources to do it though. Privacy has a high moral value (its free to want it and complain about it), but small economic value (you use Chrome? It sends everything you do back to Google. You'll still use it, because its better than not).
a HN thread is not the appropriate place to ask for resources for a project.
There are many OS projects out there with larger needs than an analytics server that have managed to get the support they need. If resources are an ongoing problem you even have the option of applying to join a free software foundation like Apache that has resources.
> join a free software foundation like Apache that has resources
There's a reciprocal arrangement here. One of the requirements of joining the Apache Software Foundation is using "Apache" when refering to the name of the software product for the first time in a new context, e.g. first mention on a webpage. Apache Groovy was promoted from Apache's incubator last November (2015), so I've been doing just that ever since. Unfortunately, many of the developers who work on Groovy don't bother, availing themselves of those resources but not giving back to the foundation the small amount asked.
