>>> Measurement of success is great, but the definition of "success" is very
broad. This is a form of output. In some social ventures success can be
measured as social impact. From a technical side in Fedora, I believe this
measurement is easier and can be measured by the innovations applied to
every new release. From the non-technical aspect, it is a little more
difficult to measure "success" That is why this is a good discussion of how
we can measure this side of our "success".

need to know from the start what statistics/metrics/data we would like to
produce and for what reasons we are producing these measures.
