Hi, today we are starting officially a new project to gather automatic
metrics from the Wikimedia tech / MediaWiki community:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Metrics_dashboard
We have a dashboard in an interim location, moving to Labs soon:
http://bitergia.com/projects/mediawiki-dashboard/browser/
The immediate steps (end of this week?) are:
* Moving to Labs. :)
* Scan the sources we want to scan for git repositories, Bugzilla
products and mailing lists.
Then we will follow with (end of this month?)
* Agreeing with the community what data to gather about contributors.
* Polish the list of contributors e.g. assigning to people their
different handlers.
Gerrit and IRC metrics are on the way (end of August?). I also expect
improvements in the interface, based on our feedback... and our patches
This dashboard is based on the open source projects Metrics Grimoire and
VizGrimoire. Other organizations (prominently OpenStack) are using it as
well so more features might come from other stakeholders.
We are working with Bitergia (maintainers or the Grimoire software and
other FLOSS metrics related projects) as contractors. Álvaro del
Castillo (CCed) is the main contact with the team.
The current contract will run during the next 12 months. The Engineering
Community team of the WMF is pushing this effort, and I'm coordinating
it. However, this clearly belongs to the Analytics team area. We have
agreed to hand over the project at some point during the next 6-12 months.
We will use the Analytics mailing list to inform and discuss this
project. Your feedback and help is welcome!
