Do we need to scan ALL the Bugzilla products or... (the same).
What mailing lists are worth scanning?
I'd very much like to see the operations and labs repos, bugzilla products and the labs-l mailing list scanned as I'm interested in the health of our operations community, especially with respect to non-ops team and volunteer contributions.
The default I want to propose is *scan everything*. Just checking whether there is something that really there is no point in scanning.
At some point we will also have individual statistics. We plan to identify WMF employees to help answering the old question about how many WMF-nonWMF contributors we have and what is the trend. Do you think it is a good idea to allow or encourage everybody to define their org?
Is there any reason this would be an org? I'd love to see orgs used for actual orgs. It would be great to see how much development work is done by third parties vs Wikimedia Foundation.
Sorry, this is what I mean. WMF employees would be identified as such, and the same would happen for WMDE, WikiWorks (etc) and explicitly "independent" developers (not to identify directly unknown with independent).
How do you feel about statistics per country, meaning that contributors would define where are they based?
It would be interesting to see this information as it may make it easier to plan locations of hackathons.
