For anyone interested in the continuing conversation about "how to define impact in the Wikimedia movement", I have pulled together a table of the different metrics that APG requestors are proposing for their programmes. this is the first year that organisations have been asked to submit their own cross-organisation metrics in addition to the WMF's global metrics (a very sensible response in my view to the numerous problems with global metrics...)
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals#Summary_of_grantee-defined_metrics A few observations: The following areas appear several times: diversity of contributors, quality of contributions, retention of contributors, amount/quality of volunteer engagement, growth in network of partner institutions, and communications metrics. Also interestingly of the 3 organisations reporting on "quality" only one is using a pre-existing community process to do so, while two have developed their own.
