Nick,
No disagreement we need to add
quantifiable metrics. I just wanted to make sure we are all in agreement of
what we are trying to accomplish. I think Bjorn has already made some
suggestions on metrics that could be mapped to these goals.

Eclipse.org website project.
Subject: Re: [phoenix-dev] Re:
First steps towards a better eclipse.org website
Certainly good goals, but there's still a little too
much unquantifiable text in there.
* Define "easy" -- for a first time vistor? for a project lead? for a
releng nerd? for a scriptkiddy? for a frequent visitor?
* Define "valuable" -- who decides what constitutes valuable
marketing, how is it measured, and who benefits?
* Define "support" -- does the website itself provide support, or is
it the staff (@eclipse.org) and the tools
(portal.eclipse) that provide support?
With each goal stated, the obvious question in terms of implementation,
quanitifcation, testing, and analysis must be "HOW?" -- how is the
website &/or the Foundation accomplishing this, how do we know it's being
accomplished, and how much better/different is it from before?
