Hmmm.... probably better to see how it turns out before jumping to conclusions. :)

From initial discussion with Mike, there are two parts that would be needed for a (self hosted) setup:

a) The hosting itself (this is something I can likely help with)

b) Setup and ongoing management of Piwik. This isn't a skill set I have (nor am interested in). However I'm generally thinking the Homebrew Community is big enough to rustle up at least a few people with the right skill set for getting this done (and keeping it done :>).

Trying to get both hosting + Piwik setup/mgmt from the same set of people may be a tall order, so doing them separately is probably more achievable.

As a data point, this kind of approach - sponsored hosting/hw/similar + volunteers to look after Community infra - is used successfully in other projects. PostgreSQL is a good example.

Can't really think of any obvious reasons it wouldn't work for Homebrew too. ;)
