"Report card 2.0" is running at http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/

Rationale edit

There is a need for both the foundation and community to see 'at-a-glance' what the current standing is on various projects and a need for a common reporting infrastructure within the foundation for measures we find important. The current report card, as it exists is a monolithic structure and process which ends with very specific data points being summarized for the board and ED. There are parts of data in this report that can be reused and/or combined with other reports to get very specific, relevant reports to other interested parties.

Goals edit

This project will seek to improve the general metrics reporting process in the following ways:

Data: extraction, transformation and loading is fully automated, there will be zero manual steps.
Granularity: we start with daily aggregated data.
Targets: a measurement is benchmarked against a target, this applies to certain reader, mobile and diversity measures.
API: there will be a simple API so people can fetch the data and analyze and visualize it themselves.
Embedded: there will be a Mediawiki extension that allows you to embed a particular chart in a Wiki page.
Modular: the frontend and backend will be very loosely coupled so that it will be possible to just replace the backend in one shot.
Interactivity: the charts will offer basic interactivity: zoom-in / zoom-out, indexed vs raw count, add other projects to compare, etc.

User Groups edit

1) The monthly metric meeting where Erik will use it to give a high level overview of the state of the community. User Group 1: C-level.

2) The different departments (Community, Global Dev) and different teams (Mobile) want to have more fine-grained control over their charts and want to be able to 'write' their own queries. User Group 2: Different WMF teams

3) The community at large (community members, admin, researchers, whoever), they will probably want to download the raw JSON data and do extra things. User Group 3: Community (broadly defined)

Devices edit

We will limit the reportcard to modern web-browsers on a desktop / laptop.

Metrics edit

In total, there are six themes that will be visualized on the Dashboard: Reader metrics, Editor metrics, Device metrics, Diversity metrics, Media metrics and API metrics.

API-centered measurements edit

Count of different API actions
- Breakdown by language
- Breakdown by project

Proposed Database Design edit

You can find the proposed database design at Analytics/Reportcard/Database_design.

Shelved Features edit

This is a list of features that we want but are outside of the current scope

Raw data: Instead of storing aggregates, we want to be able to store the raw data.
Granularity: Hourly data is something to consider.
