Hello everyone,

We want to update you on the Commons Impact Metrics project, which was announced in the Culture & Heritage section of the Foundation’s annual plan. This project responds to community feedback that reliable and well-maintained metrics are essential for your partnerships with libraries and cultural institutions. In the first stage of the project, we analyzed the community-developed GLAM Metrics Needs page and commonly-used tools, such as BaGLAMa2, GLAMorgan, and GLAM-Wiki Dashboard.

Since then, we have made significant progress and were able to introduce a prototype at the recent GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo. Now, we are excited to invite everyone, including those who couldn’t join us at the conference, to engage in testing this prototype.

Here is how you can help:

  1. Explore the prototype following these User Testing Instructions.

  2. Share your thoughts, feedback, and questions on the discussion page.

Thank you in advance for your contributions; your feedback will help us build a more effective and impactful tool for our community.



Warm regards,
