This is great feedback, Will. Keeping track of these data points would help a ton. 

We're going to discuss the working groups idea more at the next meeting, and hopefully we can choose facilitators (I think we agreed that people like that term better) for the working groups then.

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.
