Hey guys,

Here's how I'd do it. 

Assumption: Only logged-in users can start the UW funnel

Schemas:

UploadWizardStep

Stored when the user loads a new step of the Upload Wizard

• user_id : int -- The user's identifier
• flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the funnel began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1)
• step : int -- 1 - 4 of the UW process

UploadWizardRightsSelection

Stored when the user selects a "rights" option.

• user_id : int -- The user's identifier
• flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the funnel began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1)
• rights_selected : enum("own", "other) -- The rights that a user selected (note that multiple selections actions can take place for a single flow)

I'd make a pass over the DB, to identify the last RightsSelection for each flow_initialization (if any) to figure out what an uploading user settled on during a particular flow.  I'd also look at how many selections a user makes per flow to see evidence of confusion & indecisiveness or maybe just exploration of the UI.  

Make sense?

Yes. But is this a given fact, or something that might change?

We do intend to change it. You can see out plans (in a somewhat undigested form) at http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/design-multimedia-uploader

But usage metrics from the current interface can still be helpful for designing a different one.

So how much energy and resources are we
spending on making it slightly better, rather than designing
something very different?

That's the million dollar question... given that small improvements will have instant effect (but is wasted time in the long run), while a big redesign will take several months (I am being optimistic here...), we will have to do some mix of the two, but exactly what mix that will be is an open question.
