Dear Pierre-Selim, I look forward to discussing this new metric at the Wikimedia Conference.
I might even take photographs of the deliberations and upload them to Commons in order to improve my personal pixel metric. Have you figured out a way to translate pixels into multiple languages? I hope you will document the new pixel metric, and the methods for measuring it, in the Learning Patterns Library.
