Hardcoded Google Analytics tracking

[The-Compiler]

I didn't find this discussed anywhere before - if I missed something, please let me know.

argüman seems to include hardcoded Google Analytics code:

arguman.org/web/templates/base.html

Lines 94 to 101 in 8b1b8ff

	<script>
	(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
	(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
	m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
	})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
	ga('create', 'UA-55983865-1', 'auto');
	ga('send', 'pageview');
	</script>

While this might be okay for a publicly hosted instance, making everyone hosting their own instance "phone home" to your(?) Google Analytics account really isn't nice.

This should arguably be opt-in, but at the very least, there should be a way to disable it (and maybe to customize the ID).

disclaimer: I've not self-hosted argüman before - this was noticed in a (non-public) mailinglist conversation, and the solution taken there was running a custom fork of the project removing the tracking code.

Arguman hasn't been developed with multiple instances in mind. I've been working on it, see some hanging PRs, but without bigger community it won't be launched. Bring those people from private mailing list space here.
