How would folks feel about a public log of WikiMetrics

We're tracking this info right now without sharing it. I don't feel
it's particularly sensitive, and would give us a good shared
understanding of who's using the tool & how. It does expose cohort
names, but I'm not sure why that would be an issue. In a way, it seems
Exposing cohort names is not a good idea as that can leak sensitive
information about an editor who is part of that cohort. Imagine a cohort
name like "Berlin Edithon", this is one of the reasons why we want to
introduce user roles in Wikimetrics where WMF employees can share cohorts
with each other but community members cannot.
Besides that detail, sounds like a fun idea :)
only fair that if we're putting our users under
the microscope, we
should also be comfortable with publicly logging what we're doing.
Thanks,
Erik
