Survey for Dissertation: Web Analytics in the Cloud for Large Scale Websites

I am an undergraduate student in my final year at university. I am undertaking a dissertation to look at developing an open source web analytics package for large scale websites.

I want to understand how individuals, companies and organisations feel about their web analytics software, the security and privacy of the data collected through web analytics and if their is a demand for an open source web analytics designed for large scale websites, such as the BBC, Reuters, Hacker News, etc.

Thank you for your time!
