Thanks @Halfak , I forgot about that schema, which is great for tracking contributions. The instrumentation needs for this task are mostly focused on consumption. Also cc'ing @Astinson and @Ocaasi_WMF for visibility.

Oh! I see. That makes sense for the plan to have a public/community review.

Minutes and todos from kickoff meeting with Lauren Maggio, John Willinsky, Ryan Max Steinberg.

Lauren and team shared a detailed proposal for a schema. Our goal in Q3 is to work on the review of the specs and any privacy/security implications with the target of having a vetted implementation strategy by the end of the quarter.
