Dryad has moved on to using the DataCite web tracker for the statistics they are +tracking. + +The DataCite web tracker has the advantage of being able to log statistics directly to +a web endpoint and statistics are automatically calculated by DataCite rather than needing +to manage logs, calculate stats manually (and slowly for large amounts of traffic) +and upload reports separately to the DataCite hub on a schedule. + +As of March 2024, I've done some final cleanup of Python library versions to update +dependencies to address security vulnerabilities and to make the script run with Python +3.10. + +Some aspects of the project are long out of date or were designed for smaller scale that didn't +work well for the later states of some software that used it. Resources and prioritization meant +that the project has been out of date for quite some time (for example having to use older +geolocation libraries without of date data) and updates have been slow. + +Because of this, the project is being archived and is no longer maintained. We hope this +doesn't cause large problems for the few who continue to use it. ## Introduction
