User:John Cummings/Planning UNESCO metrics

This page is to plan metrics for the UNESCO Wikimedian in Residence project that are helpful for project contributors and to understand the outcomes of the project and what tools can be used for measurement. Please suggest tools that could be used and additional metrics on the talk page.

Aims of the project
The aims of the project are:
 * Help organise reuse of UNESCO content on Wikimedia projects
 * Help improve content on Wikimedia of the subjects of UNESCO programmes e.g the World Heritage Sites.
 * Provide clear instructions to help new users to learn how to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
 * Provide a meeting place for people to discuss the work

The project will include 1000s of pages and content files so manual calculation will not be practical.

Metrics for contributors

 * Clearly set out areas of possible work for contributors to take part in
 * Provide feedback for contributors on the impacts of their contributions

Metrics for contributors should be:
 * Live or very regularly updated so that people aren't guided to do work that is already done.
 * Easy to use, where possible the results are accessible without logging in and show results simply by pressing the link, the user doesn't need to press any buttons

Metrics for reporting

 * Show the benefits to UNESCO of them releasing content under and open license
 * Show the benefits improvements to content on Wikimedia sites and to free education more widely
 * How the outcomes fit into grant outcomes
 * Additional outcomes

Metrics for reporting will be used in the project final report and other publications and will focus on:


 * Benefit to Wikimedia community
 * Benefit to Wikimedia users
 * Benefit to external organisations
 * Replicability
 * Goals of the grant

Tools
