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.
