Analytics for editors
Analytics for editors
I did some analytics be myself (Benutzer:Goldzahn/Logbuch). For example, I looked into the user creation log of a whole day or looked what happens to a featured article when it is presented at the main page. I don´t know if there is a software that could do something similar, I counted the numbers by hand. My principles were to name the data I used, so that someone else could check the numbers. I think this is important if the analytics should help to decide if something should be done in this way or in another way. Well, the listed requirements (Fundraising, Strategy) are for analytics needed for foundation topics. What I did were analytics for editors and since user wouldn´t have access rights to the statistics server (I remember that the statistics server is provided by the swiss chapter, right?) we would need something like statistics-tools. We have something like Wikipedia:Graphic Lab, we could start aa Analytics Lab too. They would write statistic scripts which would run on the statistic server. I don´t know if such a software or a script-language for analytics on log-data exists. --Goldzahn 11:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I think it's both fair and desirable to collect requirements for other members of the movement -- editors, etc. I would love to see an open analytics lab that anyone would have access to and that could serve as an open infrastructure for doing research, analytics, visualizations, and experimentation.
Could you add some notes to Task force/Analytics/Requirements? Ideally, ideas for what to measure should be associated with why we want to see that data.
