I have setup the Khan Academy platform development environment on Debian 6 and Ubuntu 11.04 so far.
I'll concentrate on Debian 6.
First setup a new install of Debian 6, or use an existing install. There are a few software requirements.
If you don't already have them install the basics:
apt-get install build-essential unzip python 2.5 python-setuptools python2.6-dev python-dulwich
Quickly Collect Anayltics With Piwik and Elgg [cashcostello.com]
We are using Piwik with some Elgg sites and we do this in a similar way by using a plugin that holds all the custom code for that particular site.
Piwik is a great open source tool that lets you collect statistics similar to Google Analytics and also allows customization and integration. We have done some custom integration with Piwik and Elgg via the Piwik plugin API.
