We have inconsistent and often outdated statistics all over our comms materials, job openings etc. (number of wikis, number of articles, pageviews, uniques, rank etc). The deliverable for this task is (1) updated numbers for Wikimedia's official press kit that we all agree upon and (2) a proposed process to revisit on a regular basis.

GOAL:
- Review the following metrics
---
[x] pageviews
For large projects, counting pageviews is solved to a good extent, i.e., we can tell bot pageviews from human pageviews, of course, the identification of bot versus human pageviews can and should be improved (T138207). At some point, we identified around 5% of our traffic coming from botnets. This number can be 10%, more or less. For small projects, this metric may be problematic. An example is reported in T136084.
Pageview broken down by:
1. wiki (where wiki is defined by the combination of project and and pre-fix, for example (Wikipedia, en) is a wiki, and so is (Wikidata, xx).
2. site (mobile versus desktop)
3. country

[] industry rank
[] number of articles
[] active projects
[] unique devices
used by the Foundation and come to an initial agreement on how they should be defined and computed.
- Discuss the use of qualifiers, instead of metrics.
TODO:
* [Leila] What is the ranking service we want to use, if at all, now that we don't use comScore anymore? We discussed Alexa, but we should do a wider research before choosing one service.
* [Leila and Erik] To continue discussion and research about a good metric or qualifier to replace "the number of articles".
* [Erik] Summarize the meeting results.
