Hi all,
First-time poster here. Someone just pinged me about James's suggestion,
below.
Adding more contextual parameters to the Teahouse invitee report (as a
means of including more new editors in the sample, not shrinking the
current list) is a great idea. And detecting ref tag additions is a natural
starting place. I'll look into setting this up, and try to get a sense of
how many more editors it would get us.
James, it might interest you to know that the 10 edit threshold is
*also *informed
by research Aaron conducted (that man gets around):

Erik, are any new metrics being added to support the Halfaker
recommendations to "build tools that aid in identifying and supporting
desirable newcomers" from
http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~halfak/publications/The_Rise_and_Decline
?
In particular, are you willing to measure the number of users who have
added a "<ref" tag in article space but have empty talk pages? That
seems like the easiest query to start out with for now and refine
later -- maybe two such tag adds would be better, and there is
probably a much better way to measure talk page activity, i.e. exclude
warning templates, or even all template messages. It's fairly easy for
me to find such users non-exhaustively, but without SQL access it's
difficult to find them all or measure their numbers and trend over
time.
Or better yet, could you please add that query to the Teahouse
invitation worklist report? Their current criteria of 10 edits is a
lot less meaningful. An editor who has figured out the ref tag but
only made five edits is worth far more than one who's made 10
formatting changes.

Sorry, one more thing that I think deserves a follow-up e-mail: huge props
to Sue for drafting this on-wiki. I know that there were a number of
alternate private venues available (such as the office wiki) and it isn't
always easy to draft a document, particularly a document like this, in
public. In keeping with our values, I hope we continue to encourage everyone
to use the public venues whenever possible. Thank you, Sue!

Hi folks,
I'm pleased to announced that the next WMF metrics and activities
meeting is going to be the first one that'll be live-streamed on
YouTube with an open IRC backchannel.
The meeting will take place November 1, 2012 at 5:30 PM UTC. The IRC
channel is #wikimedia-metrics-meetings [1] on irc.freenode.net.
The current structure of the meeting is:
* Review of key metrics including the monthly report card, but also
specialized reports and analytics
* Review of financials
* Welcoming recent hires
* Brief presentations on recent projects, with a focus on highest
priority initiatives
* Update and Q&A with the Executive Director, if available
Please review
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_and_activities_meetings
for further information about how to participate.
We'll post IRC logs and the video recording publicly after the meeting.
All best,
Erik
[1] I'm open to just using #wikimedia or another channel if folks
would prefer that, but didn't want to assume that it's OK to hog the
channel :)

Fantastic! Live youtube streams are an incredible idea. Great to see the
movement taking advantage of the rest of the tools the internet has to
offer. Thanks to all involved!

That's easy to answer. Apart from the commercial social network sites
for the populace being non-educational: Much has already been done,
and what we are doing is good enough to most people. Also, they do not
perceive Wikipedia as a community to become a part of, but basically
as an online encyclopaedia they can use for looking up something they
are interested in ---?after all, that's what it's supposed to be,
isn't it. And then, the situation is quite different for the language
communities. German Wikipedia grows constantly by some 400 new
articles per day. No change over time. No loss of productivity. So
what?
Regards,
J?rgen.

Hi John,
I don't speak for the GCs, but there's a redlink for the log on the meeting
page on Meta, and someone has posted some notes on Etherpad. You can see the
links at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Meetings/October_2012.
If the log doesn't appear in a couple of days, I suggest that you contact
one of the GCs to ask for an update.
Cheers,
Pine

Thematic organizations have the same amount of authority over content on
Wikipedia as chapters. To spell this out clearly that means NONE. One does
not put these sorts of details in a NGOs by laws however this will be
clearly described in the policies once incorporated.

I'm sad to see Jay go. He was great at so many things. I'd wish him nothing
