cabennett85/gittest — Issue #903: User segments and cause segments
Author: cabennett85

State: open

== Needs ==

1. For metrics to be actionable, we need to first segment causes into different buckets (e.g. active causes, inactive causes, old causes, new causes) so that we can analyze a variety of metrics by these different segments/dimensions.

2. (from Ticket #1013) As we enter into partnerships with 3rd party sites, we are going to need to be able to distinguish which causes came from them as they might be treated differently.

For example, we need to know which causes were created because of data from education.com since the cause pages for those causes may need some special styling or extra content (like an img linking to education.com).

Similarly, for MLB.com etc.

low priority until we get more users (and causes) =)
