[bisq-network/proposals] New Roles for Analytics, Operator and Administrator (#115)

[Steve Jain]

> _This is a Bisq Network proposal. Please familiarize yourself with the [submission and review process](https://docs.bisq.network/proposals.html)._

<!-- Please do not remove the text above. -->

The main Bisq site has finally gotten rid of Google Analytics in favor of Matomo, which is self-hosted and more privacy-minded. The Docs site will switch over soon too. This requires the creation of new roles. Neither role should require a significant financial commitment from the network, but we figure it better to make a clear proposal in the interest of openness.

I present these roles with the details [in the spec](https://docs.bisq.network/roles.html) to reduce ambiguity.

## Analytics Operator

This role would be for the person actually running the Matomo server, @wiz. This is wholly a new role, as the job was being done before by Google.

**Role Issue**
TBD upon approval

**Role Team**
TBD upon approval

**Duties**
* Ensure the Matomo server is functioning properly, secured, and updated
* Install plugins and provision accounts as required by the Analytics Administrator and others
* Write a monthly report on the appropriate issue.

**Rights**
N/A; no additional GitHub rights.

**Bond**
1000 BSQ, to account for the importance of analytics and need to handle the data responsibly.

**Other Considerations**
Ongoing costs will include hosting for the Matomo instance, at the discretion of the role owner, probably in the 50-100 USD range.

## Analytics Administrator

This role would be for the person operating the Matomo server, @FKrauss. Fabio is a long-time user who recently became a more active contributor. He has a background in this function of configuring analytics and driving web traffic.

Until now this work wasn't really done by anyone, as Google Analytics includes all functionality built-in, and this project made no significant efforts to use analytics beyond monthly traffic reporting. The goal for this role is to set up and maintain a Matomo configuration that is useful for the project, and help implementing techniques that optimize traffic acquisition, reduce bounce, increase conversions (downloads), etc.

**Role Issue**
TBD upon approval

**Role Team**
TBD upon approval

**Duties**
* Optimize Matomo setup for insights on traffic, conversions, etc.

**Rights**
N/A; no additional GitHub rights.

**Bond**
0 BSQ

**Other Considerations**
Ongoing costs will be based on work delivered.
