Thank you for opening the discussion. In our research group
<https://grasia.fdi.ucm.es/newmain/language/en/>, we are working
specifically on this.

You can get a lot of good ideas and pointers to other research from
the Wikimedia
research page <https://research.wikimedia.org/community-health.html> and
from the last Inspire Campaign of Wikimedia, which it was precisely about
Measuring editing community health:
https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire

Thank you also Marc for sharing your ideas, they are very interesting. We
have already been working with inequality metrics

>> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Metrics_kit

>> The ultimate outcome will be a public suite of statistics and data

>> direction and Wikimedia Foundation staff to point anti-harassment tool
>> development in the right direction.
>>
>> We have a set of metrics we are thinking about including in the kit,
>> ranging from the ratio of active users to active administrators,
>> administrator confidence levels, and off-wiki factors such as freedom to
>> participate. It's ambitious, and our methods of collecting such data will
>> vary.
>>
>> Right now, we'd like to know:
>> * Which metrics make sense to collect? Which don't? What are we missing?
>> * Where would such a tool ideally be hosted? Where would you normally
>> look for statistics like these?
>> * We are aware of the overlap in scope between this and Wikistats <
>> https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/all-projects> — how might these tools

>> Your opinions will help to guide this project going forward. We'll be

>> Looking forward to reading your thoughts.
