Propose a set of metrics along with qualifiers to be used in the WMF's press kit or as part of keynotes to a broad audience. (Note: the proposal will include high level metrics and qualifiers to be used in top-level keynotes. Whether the Audience teams in the WMF use these metrics and qualifiers for their day-to-day operations or as part of their keynotes is at the discretion of each team. :)

Event Timeline
Grabbing the task from Erik as I'll be drafting the proposal based on Erik's input shared late last week.
Update: We met with Neil from Editing and discussed the Editing related metrics.
Next steps:
There are at least 3 different definitions for how we can compute the total number of active Wikimedia editors:
- The definition used in the wikistats
- The definition proposed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Refining_the_definition_of_monthly_active_editors
- The definition used by Editing (Neil)
We will compute the numbers based on these definitions for months of May through October. Dario, Erik, Neil, and I will meet to discuss the best choice of metric/qualifier to propose.
