We should be looking at indirectly estimating the impact WMUK has in each
given time-period on its goal: "to promote and support the widest possible
public access to, use of and contribution to Open Content of an
encyclopaedic or educational nature or of similar utility to the general
public, in particular the Open Content supported and provided by the
Wikimedia Foundation."
I'd suggest that a decent estimate of the number of volunteer-hours devoted
to WMUK events per month would be a really good starting point. See what
the trend has been over time.
Volunteer involvement is the life-blood of WMUK. Anything else is
unsustainable without that.
