[lenara]

find a way to record events & user interactions.
also - save console log to a file for later (re)viewing?

The botan bot is down pretty much all the time so it is not a useful solution.

Need to know spec of what needs to be recorded and charted.

[lenara]

activity to be recorded:

• content published (already being recorded on database)
  -- content chosen for viewing (add a hit counter to db when people choose item?)
  -- kindness gifts chosen for earning warhols (can also use hit counter)
• market bets (are already well recorded on db)
• each user’s balance fluctuation over time (this can become a nice graph actually :)
• all warhols earned over time (also can become a graph)
• all warhols spent over time (ditto)
• break down those earned/spent warhols by economy
• (optional) break down also each user’s balance by economy

Idea: incorporate into both the add and subtract warhols function a query update to a new “transactions log” table, which will include: timestamp, user id, economy, amount of new warhols (positive or negative for either earned or spent)

obs: besides the creative, gift and speculation, there is also the coupon way of earning warhols. Maybe assign this to a fourth economy code

Added content views to creative table along with functionality to count the views.

Added '--' signs on the list above so we know what is already implemented.

What has been implemented is currently in the records-tracking branch.
