+____ Piwik Plugin ____
+by Tobias Diekershoff
+   tobias.diekershoff(at)gmx.net
+
+This addon allows you to embed the code necessary for the FLOSS webanalytics
+tool piwik into the Friendika pages.
+
+Online version of this Document: http://ur1.ca/35m2x
+
+___ Requirements ___
+
+To use this plugin you need a "piwik":http://piwik.org installation.
+
+___ Where to find ___
+
+In the Friendika git repository @/addon/piwik/piwik.php@ and a CSS file for
+styling the opt-out notice.
+
+___ Configuration ___
+
+Open the .htconfig.php file and add "piwik" to the list of activated addons. 
+    $a->config['system']['addon'] = "piwik, ..."
+You have to add 3 more configuration variables for the addon:
+
+$a->config['piwik']['baseurl'] = 'example.com/piwik/';
+$a->config['piwik']['sideid'] = '1';
+$a->config['piwik']['optout'] = true;
+
+The *baseurl* points to your piwik installation. Use the absolute path,
+remember trailing slashes but ignore the protocol (http/s) part of the URL.
+Change the *sideid* parameter to whatever ID you want to use for tracking your
+Friendika installation. The *optout* parameter (true|false) defines whether or
+not a short notice about the utilization of piwik will be displayed on every
+page of your Friendika site (at the bottom of the page with some spacing to the
+other content). Part of the note is a link that allows the visitor to set an
+_opt-out_ cookie which will prevent visits from that user be tracked by piwik.
+
+Currently the optional notice states the following:
+
+    This website is tracked using the Piwik analytics tool. If you do not want
+    that your visits are logged this way you can set a cookie to prevent Piwik
+    from tracking further visits of the site (opt-out).
