[wp-hackers] Fresh Meat: Open Web Analytics for WordPress

[Matt]

It's a pretty good plugin. Although you gotta wonder why it's 5MBs, while WP
is only 3MBs...

In the reporting section, you should put alt texts on the images. Also, I
think you forgot to end a tag or something, because on the Dashboard, the
normal WP Admin footer ends up in 1 of those fieldset's. It's also a little
bulky to go through the stats. It needs to be more lightweight and
organised. It's also a little slow to.

Otherwise, it looks pretty useful. :D
