My own personal view is that, in an ideal world, we'd post two or more metrics for every project (article numbers, number of editors, and perhaps other metrics like, perhaps, external links). That would create a design problem given our current home page, but probably not an unsolvable one.
The idea here is that, with multiple metrics, we can hypothesize more clearly about trends -- e.g., when the article number rate of increase declines, but numbers of editors and external links increases, we may be able to make some more reasonable guesses about what's happening on that project. Obviously, Erik Zachte's work in this are is extremely (I'm inclined to say uniquely) valuable -- I'm wondering how we can better integrate his research into how the projects initially represent themselves to users upon entry. --Mike _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
