KPIs

KPIs are Key Performance Indicators. They are necessary to measure the global performance of the project.

Number	Goals	Description	Measurement solutions	Notes
#1	To know how many ZIM files are downloaded over time	# downloads over time Downloads / files / times displayed as a chart Time period should be configurable Downloads over time should be easily viewed: By total downloads By language By collection	???	Should include both PediaPress downloads and those downloaded from Kiwix library
#2	To know how often new revisions of large/popular collections are offered(over time)	Average time lapse between updates in months by collection	???	Only for common collections: e.g., Wikipedia 1.0, Wikipedia for Schools
#3	Track the number of languages with offline options available	Languages with offline options over time	???
#4	Track the number of high-quality collections offered over time	# vetted collections over time By language By category (e.g., topical, schools package, country-specific)	???
#5	To know the reach of the offline work	# of viewers of offline materials by month Viewership over time should be easily viewed by different distributors Viewership over time should be easily viewed by collection breakdowns: By total By collection By language By category (e.g., topical, schools package, country-specific)	???
#6	To know where the offline work is penetrating by location	# of downloads by location Time period should be configurable	???
#7	To know where the offline work is being viewed by location	# of viewers by geography	???

For all charts the period may be select for the whole stats page. So this is not a topic for each chart.

If we want a centralized solution to get informations about ZIM file downloads without having a central repository... each provider should provide their stats. I propose in a first time to do that for kiwix ZIM files to see if this is OK.

I can do that with only one chart representing download count with bars over time. A total count will be also displayed. I would add two comboboxes to allow filtering. One to choose a language (per default "all"). A second offering a list of ZIM files in the pre-selected language (per default "all").

Seems to me to be irrelevant now:
- Kiwix ZIM files are not "refreshed" periodicaly
- For WP ZIM files... they are build dynamically... does not make sense.Kelson 16:59, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

Does the number of ZIM files in a language over time would be OK?. A chart with bar with a filtering combox with languages (per default "all") Kelson 17:01, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

Could be interesting if generated from different library.xml Kelson 17:02, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

Seems to me not feasible... Collection are to 90% not reviewed... and we do not have categories for ZIM files Kelson 17:04, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

We do not have a system to monitor the viewership... this is also critical in term of privacy protection. Not sure we need that... download counts should be a good indicator. Only online readers could also be tracked. This make many flaws. Kelson 17:08, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

Similar answer as for #5... but with may use the kiwix sw update check system (need to be implemented) to know where kiwix is run.... Kelson 17:19, 27 July 2011 (CEST)

#1	To know how many Kiwix readers are downloaded over time	# downloads over time Downloads / files / times displayed as a chart Time period should be configurable Downloads over time should be easily viewed: By total downloads By language By collection	Currently offered on Sourceforge
#2	To know which operating systems are downloading Kiwix	# downloads by Operating System # downloads by Operating System over time Time period should be configurable	Share can be seen on Sourceforge, but not over time
#3	To know how often new versions of Kiwix is offered (over time)	Average time lapse between updates in months by collection This would show healthy amounts of activity in the developer community	???
#4	To know where the offline work is penetrating by location	# of downloads by location over time Time period should be configurable (and not just cumulative)	Downloads and map can be viewed on Sourceforge	Downloads not viewable over time
#5	To know where the offline work is being viewed on Kiwix by location	# of Kiwix users by geography	The software update system should always "ping" a specific url. We should analyse that logs.
#6	To know why Kiwix was downloaded	Breakdown of main reasons for download (e.g., "Use in schools," "Personal use")	Discussed here
