Andy, thanks for the proposed work groups - I think these are a great way to break it up. Talk with Jenny - she says the meetings used to be broken up into a monthly "public" meeting and weekly private meetings.
Here are some ideas for metrics to keep track of based on those work groups:
- Installation:
- Keep a running chart of # of nodes on the network like on Guifi.net
- Keep an updated map on peoplesopen.net showing all of the nodes and links
- Infrastructure:
- Keep a running chart of network uptime % over the last month (as measured from the exit node)
- Put a development roadmap on the blog and update it quarterly
- Communications:
- Keep track of # of interested new node owners - people who click "I want to host a node"
- Keep track of website traffic and "conversion" to node owners
- Maybe do A/B testing on peoplesopen.net to with the goal of getting people signed up
- Keep track of social media metrics: # of followers on twitter, instagram, facebook
If this is the road we go down I'd be happy to volunteer either as the Installation or Communications lead.
