Having good metrics and reporting is important for any community. We'll use this page to start to build out a plan for gathering the right metrics that we can use to report on the health of the community.

Contents

Metrics to capture

  • Software packaging
    • New packages added to repository
    • Updates to existing packages
    • Number of developers/maintainers uploading packages
  • Server performance metrics
    • Server use levels
    • Network bandwidth
    • Downtime and error reports
  • bugzilla reports (Intel has some of this already from Moblin that we can re-use).
    • New bug reports
    • Fixed bug reports
    • Unfixed closed bugreports (dups, not a bug, etc)
    • Upstreamed bug reports (MeeGo bug matched with upstream bug report)
  • various open source aspects
    • Activity of Intel & Nokia developers vs activity of "NIN" (Not Intel/Nokia) developers
    • Number of NIN committers, number of MeeGo specific modules with NIN committers.
    • Not sure what you might want to quantitatively measure here - qualitative is hard to automate. See Siobhan O'Mahony's reports for Eclipse & various Eclipse Foundation reports for inspiration Dneary 10:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
  • membership / user accounts
    • member satisfaction
    • member recognition

  • mailing list subscriptions / participation
    • Number of subscribers
    • New subscriptions
    • Departing subscribers
  • contributor activity
    • Wiki edits
    • Talk posts
    • Mailing list posts
    • Code commits
    • Bugzilla comments, bugs opened, bugs closed
  • Monitoring (not exactly metrics, but related)
    • Tracking press / blog / analyst mentions (more qualitative data)
    • Dawn is working with Intel to get access to Radian6 for this data and plan to publish the output to the community.

Points to consider

  • Reporting solution
  • Report sharing methods
    • Dashboard(s) for ongoing data reports (server health, member stats, bugs, app stats, etc) --Texrat 18:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
    • Voluntary subscriptions (ie, RSS) for periodic public reports --Texrat 18:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Public vs Private data
