Hi there,
Asking for a task to volunteer, Sumana encouraged me to look at the topic of community metrics. She pointed to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Pentaho as a starting point.
After a first look at Pentaho and what some colleagues at the MeeGo project did with it [1], I searched (a bit) for any wiki pages or discussions about community metrics here, but couldn't find any.

Edits welcome!
I'm looking for feedback, help, and a first prototype of an automatically refreshed report hopefully sooner than later. Something simple to build upon.
Even if it's too tempting to define the first prototype thinking first on tools or data available, you are encouraged to start by proposing what questions do you want actually answered. What community trends do you want to know?
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil/MediaWiki_Community_Metrics#Trends_t... - in few days we should have agreed on the first and most important trends we want to visualize.
