Hi, I have been drafting the first community metrics monthly report at

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil/MediaWiki_Community_Metrics/Metrics_...

Feedback welcome!

The plan was to publish it on November 1st, but as any good first release there have been a couple of unexpected glitches in the last minute. :)

1. Ohloh still hasn't scanned all repos for all of October (we have hundreds). It's better to have all the data retrieved.

2. Sumana found instantly four cases of contributors detected as 'new' that seem to be not new at all: thedj, Ori, Tychay and ankur. This is because they have started contributing commits from a new email address, and Ohloh considers them new contributors. Maybe there are more cases, so why not giving ourselves a chance to fix these obvious cases.

FIXING YOUR DATA IN OHLOH TAKES ONLY 5 MINUTES

This is of course voluntary:

1. Register or login at http://ohloh.net

2. Go to https://www.ohloh.net/people and search your name, nicks, email addresses.

3. Claim all the contributions that belong to you.

4. Also useful: if you are doing these contributions as an affiliated to an organization (e.g. Wikimedia) make this explicit when claiming your work.

That's it. If you want to double check you can go to https://www.ohloh.net/orgs/wikimedia , find the project(s) where you are contributing and there your name or nick should appear under the list of contributors.

Thank you for helping us providing more accurate data!
