TBD, plus identify related metrics for audiences.
Previous summary, potentially obsolete:
Start from
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Growth_and_diversity_of_Technology_team_audiences
Desired end goal is something like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Cloud_Services_team/Our_audiences that we can use to help guide other decisions like project prioritization.

Is this [partially] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1670f_6owhUuiFhbWsM8ORgv4tdQbtsm4lO9R936yyG8/edit ? Or [partially] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lk6xoa3RerFpnIs46BWPpmX3SViRjz3WTt0Q3yTjdaM/edit ? Or something else? Or something that does not exist yet at all, because no assignee?
Some of the material in the second google doc (not public folks, sorry) is related. Specifically the "Are there categories/groupings of non-staff technical contributor engagement we can identify from the current programs?" section is a brainstorming list related to this topic. The data there is incomplete and largely lacking the "user goals" type of analysis that @Harej did for Cloud Services audiences. What I'm hoping for in the mid to long term is a collection of "personas" that we can use to inform others about the "typical" people we are trying to help and what we broadly think they want/need. It will also be useful when we are planning new programs or tactical steps in existing programs to help us stay focused on existing groups we are serving (or identify new groups to add to the list).
Initial draft of a table at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Metrics#Technical_Contributors_Map
Made some changes in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Developer_Advocacy%2FMetrics&type=revision&diff=3573224&oldid=3549914 :
Hence I'm boldly resolving this task. If I missed something important here, then please feel free to reopen.
Obviously https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Metrics#Technical_Contributors_Map welcomes further edits, e.g. link to corresponding Phab tasks which cover implementing measuring stuff.
