Today WMF Community Tech launched the big upgrade to Event Metrics I’ve been talking about in recent moths. This is the answer to last year’s #3 Community Wishlist wish. With this release, event organizers get many new metrics and powerful new features for measuring event participation, contributions and impact. Please try it; all you need is a wiki login. [1]

The sooner people give Event Metrics a spin the better. Right now, CommTech is on assignment to fix Event Metrics problems. We’re open for bug business. But such is the nature of our team that in a few weeks we’ll move on to start granting our next Wishlist wish.

Consider the program in beta right not; we tested it but are bound to have missed things. So please have a look and tell us what's broken, what's confusing and what you love! Here’s the talk page for your comments. [2]
