Asking the right questions

I spend some time thinking about how I was going to analyse the data before gathering it. Then I sent the draft questions for peer review. This is what I have now:

3. Gather data from the mailing list and Wiki. Design questions about the data and answer them through analysis.

A list of questions about the data

The essential research question is to investigate the effect of the Wiki on the COP, so with this in mind:

Quantitative

• How many edits have been made month by month since the Wiki was set up.

• Which pages have been edited the most and viewed the most. Which the least.

• How many posts were made to the email list during the same period.

• How many posts were made per month during the period immediately before the Wiki was set up, and during the same period as the WIKI but for the previous year.

• How many active posters in the mailing list duing the same period

• How many people editing the Wiki

• How many posts on the mailing list are about the Wiki , what percentage does this represent.

Qualitative

• What do people say about the Wiki?

• What issues have arisen?

• Which type of pages are working well, and which not so well.

• What have I learned by talking to COP members at F2F meetings?

So now I need to press on with some answers
