[GLAM] Editathon and wiki event organizers—what metrics do you need?

[Joe Matazzoni]

Better and more metrics will be a focus for the Event Tool project. We’re planning these reporting features now and need to hear from organizers of editathons and similar events: What are your ideas about event metrics and reporting? What data do you need to show? What are you looking to accomplish with your reports? What filtering and other features are most important?
There’s a post on the project page asking for your input [1] and a series of questions on the talk page designed to help organize the discussion [2]. Please go to the talk page and leave your ideas there. To provide some prompts for your thinking, I’ve also posted a breakdown of the reports available now from the existing tools Grant Metrics and the Program and Events Dashboard [3], which many event organizers have used.
We’re listening!
Joe
