Thanks! The most interesting datum I've noticed so far is the rate of active editor (5+ edits/month) retention among new contributors after six months, which is about 0.4%.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/WLM#New_users That (along with the easy-to-measure and already known sheer quanities of photos generated) seems to me to be the most robust number to use in evaluating WLM (and comparable) funding requests. 0.4% may be considered worthwhile or not enough, depending on local contexts, so I'm not drawing a universal conclusion from it, just noting it.
