PhpOpenTracker & Tiki: what do we do?

Tiki team!

Work was started to get phpOpenTracker working with Tiki 7 months ago. 
Unfortunately, it was never completed.

http://tikiwiki.org/FuturePartner

The code is here (an included in 1.7.x and 1.8 series):
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tikiwiki/tiki/lib/phpOpenTracker/

phpOpenTracker is a really nice project (with nice plugins too!) and I 
would enjoy using it within Tiki.

Do we:
a) do nothing?
b) retract and pull out all references to phpOpenTracker? (on future 
partners page, feature list, in 1.7 announcements, etc)
c) go for BBClone integration instead?
d) finish the job minimally? phpOpenTracker needs to be installed 
separately but we add a web-bug* in templates which are activated when 
phpOpenTracker is checked in admin control panel.
e) finish the job completely?  phpOpenTracker is installed completely 
along with Tiki and is activated solely by checking phpOpenTracker in 
the admin control panel.

*It features a logging engine that, either invoked as a web-bug by a 
HTML <img> tag or embedded with two lines of code into your PHP 
application, logs each request to a website into a database. One 
installation of phpOpenTracker can track an arbitrary number of web-sites.

Of course, c, d and e are real work so we'll need a volunteer(s).

I chatted with the author Sebastian Bergmann on September 24, 2003. Here 
is an excerpt:
<marclaporte> Do you have an estimate of how difficult/long it is to 
complete phpOpenTracker-tiki integration?
<Sebast1an> I don't know tiki, but integrating the Logging Engine 
properly should be doable within hours.
<Sebast1an> Integrating (possibly customized) reporting into tiki would 
take longer, though.

What needs to be done:
1- add web bug to templates and test with active phpOpenTracker 
installation.
2- include a note with installer that phpOpenTracker only works with 
certain databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc)
3- include phpOpenTracker pages in Tiki
4- add setup.sh instructions on folders
What else?

Any volunteers?

Thanks!!!!!!
