Many of us work with Wikipedia and the other projects every day. We understand and know the immediate impact of our own work when we see a revised page, or an article upgrade, or a speedier server. But how often do we stop to think about the bigger picture? Thanks to some great work by a team of hardworking volunteers, and the donation of one of the internet industry's leading sets of internet audience measurement data, we can now get a much clearer picture of what we're accomplishing. Come to this session for a look into the state of the art in measuring our audience and participation in our projects. Would include reviews of third-party audience measurement data (including from comScore), the latest from Erik Zachte's stats.wikimedia.org, some thoughts on the impact of performance improvements, as well as others. Would likely include "10 amazing things you didn't know about Wikipedia" segment. | ||
