i13n is instrumentation, the act of adding code that generates metrics for your application. In a website, this would commonly be something like Google Analytics or Omniture and in a server based application this could be AppDynamics.
After a quick bit of digging, it appears to have been coined by Christo Lacey-Hulbert at Betfair.
Personally, I think this is a poor abbreviation; it’s too visually similar to i18n.
It’ll never catch on.
I hope you’re right but before I wrote this, the top 2 hits in google were people writing i13n when they meant i18n. One of the reasons for this post was as insurance so if it does take off, a quick search will remind me!
