Hi,
We are working on better community metrics at http://korma.wmflabs.org/ - pulling from different sources. If you are contributing via Git/Gerrit, Bugzilla, IRC or mailing lists like this one please help us identifying your multiple handlers at

Thank you!
PS: why a Google form and not something better? See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51050 :)

That page does not mention anything of the sort.

True, strictly speaking. Let me explain:
Ideally this information would be defined by Wikimedia contributors through their user profiles at http://wikitech.wikimedia.org
Since we don't have such feature implemented, we are using a Google form to get the data with certain privacy and order (at least compared to a public wiki page). Then that data needs to be introduced manually in the database powering http://korma.wmflabs.org/

Additionally, not everyone who uses the Mailing list and associated items that are asked about on the Google Form has a Wikitech account.
I, for instance, don't have a Wikitech account, but do contribute to the Mailing list whenever I feel I can (and I read everything).
Thank you, Derric Atzrott

Sure, this is what all fields (except the name) are optional. Just fill the fields that make sense. Thank you!

I noticed you're not tracking the dates for affiliation? People change jobs or move from a volunteer to a paid position etc.

That. As someone who works for a chapter, according to instructions I have to declare my affiliation to said chapter. However, my contributions pre-date my employment AND even in the future, would be done strictly in a volunteer capacity as completely unrelated to what I'm employed for.

The good news is that (as far as I understood) Metrics Grimoire (the OSS that powers our metrics) allows us to define affiliations within periods of time.
The not so good news is that all this data needs to be introduced manually by the admins, which makes this task not very scalable. Therefore we are currently doing what we can. Please specify this data in the form anyway.
Hopefully one day you will be able to define these affiliation time frames from your profile, à la LinkedIn, updating at the same time the metrics database - see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51050
