BeeSeek Blog

The alpha 2 version of Hive has been released and the main changes is the adoption of a modular structure. That means faster and easier development without adapting the main code every time, but it makes also upgrades and code reading easier and improves the stability. This also gives the possibility to personalize easily your own server writing your modules.

~ HoneyBee ~

Currently the only module developed already is HoneyBee, that is in alpha 1 version. This module collects all the statistics needed for the future page ranking.
But let's see how it saves the data in /hive/var/stats.log:
