yeah, relative to the other stuff we need for wikimetrics, I think this is lower priority.  Jonathan, if you hear more and more needs for it, you can prioritize this sooner... This would be something for Marcel to implement once he's up to speed on coding wikimetrics.

Using Quarry still relies on the end user’s ability to understand how to turn a research question into a query. Having a curated query library is a good step in that direction, but that still requires some basic knowledge of SQL. 

I don't think it does, actually. Can't we just create a canned Quarry query that generates a list of all accounts created in the past 24 hours in an output format that is Wikimetrics-ready, and then direct people to the persistent URL? User pastes that verbatim into their own "New query" box, and download the resulting data. Bada-bing!

Dario:

There are no technical blockers to be able to generate that data. Now, product wise it does not seem like a fit as wikimetrics' purpose is to produce data and run metrics. All wikimetrics computations are pre-canned. 

It seems to me the use cases you passed along are better fitted by a tool being able to freely query the db like quarry.

Thanks,

Abbey asked a question during today’s research group that I wanted to relay to the wikimetrics devs.

Would it be possible to allow people to use Wikimetrics’ project-level reports to generate cohorts, in other words, obtain lists of user_ids or user_names matching specific criteria, for example:

• registered users on a given date or period
• newly active editors on a given date
• unique editors on a given date or period

UX research as well as LCA would die to have such a functionality (the fallback is to do this via Quarry or post a request to Research & Data or someone in Grantmaking).
