Hi Aaron,
Thanks so much for your good advice!
The approach you propose below makes good sense to me.
For now, I have added it in the notes section of our Mingle ticket for the data
collection:
https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/305/edi…
Any suggestions for the best way to visualize the data once we have it? Are there some
existing LIMN graphs that would be well-suited for a funnel analysis like this one? Or
should we simply use a standard line graph as we do for other descriptive metrics
studies?
Thanks again for your helpful insights :)

Hey guys,
Here's how I'd do it.
Assumption: Only logged-in users can start the UW funnel
Schemas:
UploadWizardStep
Stored when the user loads a new step of the Upload Wizard
user_id : int -- The user's identifier
flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the funnel
began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1)
step : int -- 1 - 4 of the UW process
UploadWizardRightsSelection
Stored when the user selects a "rights" option.
user_id : int -- The user's identifier
flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the funnel
began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1)
rights_selected : enum("own", "other) -- The rights that a user selected
(note that multiple selections actions can take place for a single flow)
I'd make a pass over the DB, to identify the last RightsSelection for each
flow_initialization (if any) to figure out what an uploading user settled on during a
particular flow. I'd also look at how many selections a user makes per flow to see
evidence of confusion & indecisiveness or maybe just exploration of the UI.
Make sense?

Yes. But is this a given fact, or something that might change?
We do intend to change it. You can see out plans (in a somewhat undigested form) at
http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/design-multimedia-uploader
But usage metrics from the current interface can still be helpful for designing a
different one.
So how much energy and resources are we
spending on making it slightly better, rather than designing
something very different?
That's the million dollar question... given that small improvements will have instant
effect (but is wasted time in the long run), while a big redesign will take several months
(I am being optimistic here...), we will have to do some mix of the two, but exactly what
mix that will be is an open question.
