Yes. That should be fine, as I can set wget to use username/password, 
also use resume.

Please make sure I can see the directory listing for the directory where 
 the log files reside.  I may need to see the rotated archives.

I probably don't need that. Just a username/password combination and URL 
for the logs directory.

Are you considering a log analysis solution for each project, or a log 
analysis solution for the sysadmins?

Creating a statistics solution for each project should be fairly 
straightforward. Set rotation for the master log to daily. Set a cron 
job to run a process to split a master log into a separate log for each 
project, after the log has rotated. Perl would be ideal for this 
processing. Iterate over the list of logs using a script to generate 
webalizer command parameters. Add a link to all project templates 
pointing to the project's stats. add an .htaccess for 404's to the stats 
area with a 404 explaining 'stats are generated periodically, come back 
later'.  When creating per-project log files, A consideration is do we 
hold a file handle open on each log at the same time, or are there so 
many projects we might run out of file handles.

After processing, or monthly, run a process to check the date on each 
target stats directory. If date > 2 months, delete stats as project 
probably dead and stats directory cruft.

If you send me a day master log file .bz2, I'll put something together.

I wasn't aware of the video file. We have the audio version on the av 
project here:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/audio/audio.html#ESSI04

I need to know who owns copyright for the recording, whether our normal 
verbatim copying... license is OK.
