I'm at an event about open data and charities and someone has just asked how many people each delegate's charity has worked with (term not defined) in the last year. I wonder whether Wikimedia-UK keep such stats?
We're still pulling those stats together, but just in the last few weeks, the marvellous Coventry photo competition led to about 60 people getting involved. I'd hazard a guess at somewhere between 500 and 1,000 individuals who have been to WMUK-funded events in the past year - but that's a very broad guess. It may be much higher (but I don't think it's lower).
If you were to include people affected by WMUK's work, or if you were to include events which we didn't support, but which were run by UK members, then it gets very complex.
I know that event metrics are a hot point at the moment in WMUK :-)
