Muchas gracias, Dario :)

Can you clarify what you mean by ‘directed graph visualization’, to make sure we’re on the same page?

It seems like the bar graph recommended by Dan would be a good start, but we might also consider another simple line graph to see how these patterns change over time.

I added your suggestions and links into a Notes section for the funnel dashboard ticket #541, though I will most likely be split into a couple smaller tickets, like #305.

We’re hoping to have some of this data next week, in time for our Upload Wizard planning meeting on Thursday — wish us luck :)

Onward!

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?

Limn doesn't have many graph types but it might have a decent one for this purpose: http://debugging.wmflabs.org/graphs/ordinal_example

So you could have Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, ... on your X axis, then the number of people who made it through each step on your Y axis.

For a better funnel visualization, we should really support Sankey diagrams: http://www.practicalecommerce.com/files/images/0005/0938/2_goalFlow_Large.png 

+1, this might be overkill for a linear funnel with a small number of nodes (where a directed graph visualization, a line chart or an actual “funnel” [1] could do the job). I agree Sankey diagrams would be nice to have down the line for more complex scenarios.
