Analytics/Archive/Roadmap

Our overarching vision is to give the wiki movement a true data services platform: a cluster capable of providing realtime insight into community activity and a new view of humanity's knowledge to power applications, mash up into websites, and stream to devices. It must be powerful enough to keep pace with our ample institutional motivation and energy, and robust enough to service needs that are as-of-yet hidden from view.

This page is the clearinghouse for our planning in both broad strokes and small tasks.

Assumes we have Dells back and set up by Dec 1!
