How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth?

Posted by timothy on from the weigh-the-electrons dept.

moldar writes "I have been involved in a major project to migrate documentation from multiple sources to a wiki (Media Wiki, if you must know). Now, the PHBs are all asking questions about how organized the data is. I've already googled for various wiki metrics ideas, but mostly they focus on page counts, average page sizes, rates of edits, etc. Can anybody suggest better ways of measuring the quality of a wiki? Things like uncategorized pages, articles that are too small, etc? Any help or fresh ideas would be appreciated."

    No matter how much you pile it on, it's still just a pile of shit.

    Go tell your boss to shove six sigma up his ass. Not everything can be measured by a number. And just because it can't get a number assigned to it does not mean it isn't worth doing.
