You could ask the question two ways:
- Which of these metrics are informative to have around as data
- Which of these metrics should we use to assess how we are doing from a
community standpoint.
My answers to each question are different. ;)

Wiki accesses to meeting minutes and status
Information is useful:
+1: Its useful to know if the status has an audience (as per my last
message), and if the meeting notes have an audience beyond the folks
participating in the meetings. In general, I'd like to have access to
wiki traffic #s for any page.
Metric for assessing community involvement:
+0
OSAF website hits
Information is useful:
+1 (perhaps only after the portal project is partway done)
Metric for assessing community involvement:
+0 (wiki and website hits seem to be more of an indicator of casual
interest in the project)
Downloads
Information is useful:
+1
Metric for assessing community involvement:
+0 (I think this one might be more like wiki/website hits, indicates
casual interest, or interest as a potential end-user)
Bugzilla activity
Metric for assessing community involvement:
+1 (osaf staff vs non-staff vs non-core team)
We've asked this question already, so useful to have even now.
CVS activity
Metric for assessing community involvement:
+1 (osaf staff vs non-staff)
Although perhaps not important until we get non-staff committers.
IRC Office Hours participation
+0
You didn't ask about mailing list postings, which you mentioned at the
beginning of the message. I'd +1 this as a useful metric for assessing
community involvement.
Cheers,
Katie
