At the end of last year, Cassie raised the question of ‘how to measure quality?’ on our metrics mailing list, which is an excellent question. And like the best questions, I come back to it often.

2015 Mozilla Foundation Metrics Strategy(ish) & Roadmap(ish)
I wrote a version of this strategy in January but hadn’t published it as I was trying to remove those ‘ish‘s from the title.

Both variations on the headline increased conversion rate, but ‘Welcome to Webmaker’ performed the best. We should remove the bullet points on this landing page.

Weeknotes 5 – Webmaker Workweek
As I’m halfway into the following week I’m writing these notes quickly rather than losing them completely. I apologize in advance 🙂 Week 5 was spent in Toronto with the Webmaker team and it will be hard for a quick write-up to do this week justice.
