We want to collate data points to be able to analyze and draw out trends. Here is an example of data that we're trying to dig out (and this is just a sub-set of a preliminary list)
Sharing the entire list of data points would be a nice thing to have. If it is possible.
What's the amount of data that students have added to Wikipedia? What's the amount of data that got reverted? What's the net amount of information that the students have added on Wikipedia?
The above should lend themselves to instrumentation and should be somewhat trivially available.
How many students edited articles outside of their in-class assignments?
This is an interesting and non-trivial question. Which prompts me to ask - why would you want to track this ?
How many student's got warnings on their talk pages? How many students corrected their errors after these warnings? How many students got blocked? / How many students got blocked more than once?
Again, the above should be easily instrumented. At least, the initial nature of the questions look that way.
