Hi Craig, Although forward planning of outcome metrics is obviously a good thing for the future, I think we should make an effort now to compile outcomes and metrics for projects, programs and grants that have already taken place. Is there an onwiki page for this, or a table to fill out for each project or grant we have undertaken? I know there are some reports linked from here http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Reports#Small_grants but surely there are more hanging around? Even though you can't enumerate them off the top of your head, we *should* be able to enumerate them if everyone writes up the outcomes of projects we've individually been involved with. I know there are huge outcomes as a result of the SLNSW training and residency.. but maybe they have not been tabulated into reportable dotpoints?
