Hi, just a heads up:
I'm discussing with Ryan Lane, Sumana and Rob a plan to contract the
setup and basic maintenance of automated community metrics to measure
the activity of the Wikimedia tech community.
The questions we want to answer with metrics data are defined here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Problems_we_want_to_solve
We would start watching Git/Gerrit, Bugzilla and Mailman. The idea is to
identify individual contributors behind multiple handlers and to
differentiate WMF employees from the rest.
For this we would be using the Grimoire set of tools developed by
Bitergia. See
https://github.com/bitergia and an example at
http://activity.openstack.org/dash/browser/
In an ideal world the Analytics team would have infinite (or enough)
resources) to support and even lead this, but we understand you are more
than busy. Still, your expertise and help is welcome if only at
following what we are doing. If you have any questions just ask.
