Kind of a red herring, but no need for mystery. At the workshop I
prepared the presentation on "talk page etiquette" with Doug Taylor
and we gave it jointly. Doug is immensely experienced in all this
stuff: he said "measurable objectives", whatever the trainer-trainer
had said. So ours were signing, colon indents, and ability to create
new section on talk pages. And, yeah, you can count contributions of
those types. Shame I skimped on saying out loud while we were
presenting what exactly the objectives were, but I did say we had
three (I think) (getting to this sort of detail you need a video).
