We will measure, test and optimise all sorts of metrics in order to understand and improve the impact of our actions, but the agreed number that matters above all others for the Mozilla Foundation is ‘Number of Active Contributors’. | We will measure, test and optimise all sorts of metrics in order to understand and improve the impact of our actions, but the agreed number that matters above all others for the Mozilla Foundation is ‘Number of Active Contributors’. | ||
Our key assumption is that the number of active contributors will only grow if we are ‘doing things right’ across the board. | * Our key assumption is that the number of active contributors will only grow if we are ‘doing things right’ across the board. | ||
This is a powerful proxy KPI to measure the combined effectiveness of all the different things we work on, and how well we collaborate and embrace the wider Mozillian community. | This is a powerful proxy KPI to measure the combined effectiveness of all the different things we work on, and how well we collaborate and embrace the wider Mozillian community. | ||

The Mozilla Foundation has a specific goal for 2014 to ship* 10,000 Contributors. There are also targets within individual teams to break this target down further. We need a means of measuring how well we are doing against this target, and we need this information early in the year so we can see if we are trending towards the target, and which of our activities are most effective at recruiting Contributors. Joining up our data and making this visible across the Foundation will help us to make better decisions. | The Mozilla Foundation has a specific goal for 2014 to ship* 10,000 Contributors.

* “Ship” is useful internal parlance to focus our activities, but “work with”/“recruit”/“engage”/“enable” are a reasonable fit to explain what we are doing. I’m cautious with the language around this which can sometimes make our community sound more passive than they are. | * “Ship” is useful internal parlance to focus our activities, but “work with”/“recruit”/“engage”/“enable” are a reasonable fit to explain what we are doing.
