Change Details

Now that I have defined a draft set of v0 metrics definitions for MediaWiki technical documentation (T372102) and identified (and implemented) doc collections to use for testing the metrics, I am doing both manual/unstructured and structured analysis to explore the utility of the draft metrics. So far, the process looks like this: 1. Use existing tools to assess tech docs quality within doc collections, 2. Identify pieces of data that I feel I'm missing when I try to understand the overall health of a collection, and where targeted documentation improvements may be needed, 3. Manually gather data for the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Documentation_Team/Doc_metrics/v0#Data_elements_to_measure | characteristics identified ]] during the research & design phases of the metrics project, 4. Exploring whether those additional data points would help me answer the questions that were unanswered in 2). Target date to complete testing: Nov 30. Target date to evaluate the process and publish conclusions: Dec 30.
