Hoi,
I would assume that statistics are an important tool. There are many
statistics I can think of off the top of my head that make sense in this
context.,
WHERE ARE THEY...
Given that this is a WMF initiative, why are the statistics not there.. You
have the capability ! and the need is obvious when the ED says that metrics
are how chapters are evaluated..
Thanks,
GerardM
