Thank you everyone who provided feedback on updating Global Metrics! Global Metrics has been updated based on all the community feedback received. A summary of the new grant metrics requirement and a summary of all the feedback (and changes made based on the feedback) can be found here.
Globale Metriken ist ein Satz von sechs Metriken (und einer Frage), die alle Stipendiaten der Förderprogramme der Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) – IEG, PEG, SAPG, APG – ab September melden müssen 2014, wenn dies für ihre Grant-Aktivitäten und -Ziele relevant ist.
Als das erste vollständige Jahr aller Stipendiaten, die globale Metriken melden, endete Ende Dezember 2015 das Community Resources-Team in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Program Capacity and Learning Team, beginnt mit einer Retrospektive und Aktualisierung der globalen Metriken mit folgenden Zielen:
Verstehen, wie nützlich die aktuellen Kennzahlen für Ausschussmitglieder, Stipendiaten und relevante WMF-Mitarbeiter sind
Die Hauptthemen verstehen
Verstehen, wie diese Probleme „angegangen“ werden könnten

Phase 1: Collecting feedback - COMPLETE
The first phase of the project involves collecting feedback from across all grant programs, Committee members, and relevant WMF staff. This feedback can be provided in three ways:
A more detailed history on the development of Global Metrics, and lessons learned from past mistakes
The benefits and issues associated with the current form Global Metrics
Phase 2: Designing solutions and voting - COMPLETE
The second phase of the project focus on addressing the issues raised in Phase 1, by brainstorming and designing solutions openly on Meta based on ideas and suggestions gathered in Phase 1.
Simplify the requirement of Global Metrics, i.e. the structure, the measures used, and the way it is included in grant proposals and reports. The goal of simplifying the information requested by WMF is that it will hopefully provide more space for the other metrics and data that grantees find useful. As Global Metrics will never be comprehensive, it will aways need to complement other measures and data.
Update, simplify and integrate the extensive existing documentation and resources (e.g. the learning patterns), as well a create a new resource: The Metrics Library. This library will aggregate the many quantitative metrics and qualitative measures for capturing outputs & outcomes, that have already been used by current or past grantees, as well as link to the relevant grant or tool (if it exists). This new resource aims to answer the commonly reported issue of "What could I be capturing for my project? How could I do it? Who has done it before?", by aggregating the collective knowledge in grants and moving toward a community of practice.
Update Wikimetrics to become the primary tool for collecting Global Metrics, e.g. resolve long-standing user-interface issues, update the metrics included and their definition, etc.
While it is these three solutions together that can address the three problems stated, the second and third parts depend on the first, and need a longer timeframe to implement. As such, right now we are collecting feedback on the first part of the solution: simplifying and updating the requirement of Global Metrics.
