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.
