Description

[Frank Bertsch [:frank]]

This would be the go-to spot for figuring out what metrics mean (how many days is MAU?) and also how to create top-line metrics for products.

Essentially update this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fdq2uq5W2M4iesROcq3v5yYYFdLDzYOxjR-SxK3CYZ4/edit#

This also has useful metrics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ngzs59lS4r4YDaFB5FGxRz8YqAqHY_H6FEO_V0wwvr4/edit#heading=h.9k8kzhyhajfp

activeDAU: 

count of distinct client_ids that have total_uri_count >= 5 per day. 
Day is defined by submission_date_s3 and total_uri_count is defined as the sum of scalar_parent_browser_engagement_total_uri_count for a client in a day. 

*note: this metric only includes clients on Firefox Version 50 and up since scalar_parent_browser_engagement_total_uri_count was only released in that version.

Let's add these metrics to docs.tmo [1] repo here [2]. The lowest friction way to submit these definitions is as a Cookbook. If you get the meat of the metrics into the docs, we can figure out how to make it digestible.
