Heartbeat style projects for Community Ops

Continuing the discussion from Heartbeat for Discourse?:

Besides Heartbeats for Discourse, there are probably Heartbeat style projects we should be working on for Community Ops in general. Some brainstorming:

  • We have an old action item about doing some study to find out what successful community sites have in common.
  • Default site template
    • We realized we have a need for this for either new communities starting out, or for sites that get abandoned

Those two tie together actually, the default site template would partially be identifying a MVP for a community website.

Any other ideas?
