One Transition-specific feature we should think about is capturing resilience indicators. It might include:
Defining a set of indicators for a TI. These could be based on a set of common defaults.
Determine how to measure them locally.
Investigate what data sources exist to help capture them.
Capture metrics/data for each indicator.
Displaying those indicators and trends on the site.
Some questions:
How important is it to use the same set of indicators?
How relevant is each indicator to a specific area?
How helpful are indicators to frame people's thinking?
How useful are they when tracked over time?

Interested in "measures"
Hi pmackay,
I am a coordinator for the Transition initiative in Carrboro-Chapel Hill, North Carolina US, and I think we have a member that would be interested in speaking to you about this. There was an action group formed from the Unleashing on "measures", and I think there could be great benefit from intercommunication on this subject.
If you're interested in connecting, please send me a message at info@transitioncch.org
Thanks!
