Hi Quim!
Looks reasonable. I would also differentiated Wikimedia chapters and other 3rd parties. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

At Wikimania there was an improvised lunch-meeting about community metrics with Jesús González-Barahona (Bitergia), Sumana, RobLa and myself. The main conclusion was that http://korma.wmflabs.org needs to show a very few key metrics that could drive decisions affecting our strategy and resources.
Let's agree first on key factors to watch, in the scope of projects deployed in Wikimedia servers:
- Are the teams more efficient processing contributions?
- Is the share of non-WMF contributions growing?
- Are WMF and non-WMF contributions treated equally?
- Are the attraction and retention of new contributors improving?
- Are we improving the sustainability of our community?
If those are the key factors, these could be the key metrics:
# Who is contributing merged code each quarter? More origins == Better. ## WMF / WMDE / other Wikimedia / companies / OSS projects / independents ## Location of contributors (based on provided data)
# Time to resolve Gerrit changes. Shorter == Better. ## Authored by WMF/WMDE employees vs independent. Should be the same. ## Merged vs rejected. Similar progress? ## Best projects vs bottlenecks.
# Queue of open Gerrit change requests in relation to total amount of contributions. Shorter == Better. ## Same points as above.
# New contributors with 1 / 2-5 / 6+ changes submitted in the past 3 months. More == Better. ## % of merged / rejected. ## Who is growing / stable / vanishing?
# Age of contributors since they started in the project. Small and regular decline == Better. ## Number of contributions from each age group in the past quarters. ## WMF / non-WMF ratio for each age group.
Please have your say. I will be updating http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/** Community_metrics#Key_metricshttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Key_metricsfollowing the discussion.
