Hi Gautam. You're basically on the right track here — the wrinkle is that there's no standard format for click data, and so we'll have to provide some ways of people getting it. That will probably involve extending Omega to log things suitably to be able to do that, and should definitely include some clear documentation so people can get it working if they aren't on Omega.
