Raw Notes

Evan's Role (Jessie) Data retrieval/aggregation from disparate sources Dashboard creation (W0) Occasional analysis (e.g. Plagarism report) Software development (geo database, wikimetrics)

Frank: Priorities are Wikipedia Zero and Program Evaluation

All: Analytics resources/dashboards are hard to find in general

All: Longer term goals are identifying correlations between activities and results (aka what works and what doesn't) But we need to collect data first and the focus is on self-reporting

Dario/Frank/Diederik: some thought needs to be put into the sophistication of measurements (e.g. edits v. content)

Anasuya: We ultimately need some framework around strategic goals of the Foundation

Anasuya: We need a white paper on how we use metrics in evaluation

Toby: We will assemble epics from the foundation and do a joint prioritization project in September.

Jessie/Toby: Mingle is not the best place for requirements

All: Discussion of hiring strategy
