Thanks, Dan, this is really helpful!
I added your recommendations to this ticket for the visualization of our funnel metrics:

And I agree that a Sankey diagram would be wonderful for our purposes — even if we have to create it manually for now. Any recommended tools that would be easy to use and would let us copy and paste our metrics data to quickly create such a diagram?
Much appreciated,
Fabrice

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.pn... _______________________________________________ Multimedia mailing list Multimedia@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
