We should be looking at indirectly estimating the
impact WMUK has in each
given time-period on its goal: "to promote and support the widest possible
public access to, use of and contribution to Open Content of an
encyclopaedic or educational nature or of similar utility to the general
public, in particular the Open Content supported and provided by the
Wikimedia Foundation."
I'd suggest that a decent estimate of the number of volunteer-hours
devoted to WMUK events per month would be a really good starting point. See
what the trend has been over time.
Volunteer involvement is the life-blood of WMUK. Anything else is
unsustainable without that.

Not to worry, though - as long as we're meeting our meaningless KPIs
I'm
sure the FDC won't notice. Oh wait... Well, it's a good job we had that
get-together last weekend so that the board could (pretend to) listen to
the community's thoughts. Oh, wait... Well it's a good job WMUK has
independent revenue streams. Oh, wait... Well, it's a good job we've still
got those 200-odd volunteers from last year's Wikimania, they should help
us tick some boxes for our KPIs. Oh wait...
Never mind, though. As long as the board keep their heads in the sand
it'll
all be all right.

I am old school. I started nattering on the net in 1980, so old habits
die hard (Usenet, Spuddy, WSMR, etc).

"The wiki works better than email for content (examples, issues,
brainstorms etc.) for numerous reasons."
Brainstorms?
I rest my case.
