I an interesting paper that asked community members about metrics they'd like to see...
Especially interesting for our work motivation is that data from GitHub for community metrics was asked for by survey participants (p. 18).
The paper presents interesting findings: "... a strong interest of OSS developers in visualization of community statistics. Especially, the network graph visualization of the communities was recognized as the most interesting metric. The developers are more interested in aggregated statistics in order to avoid the feeling of being observed among the project participants. On contrary, sentiment analysis did not get much attention, which might be a result of a poor description or little awareness of the analysis method." (p. 19)
We might learn from the paper:
- Add a community graph metric to our list (with a time play feature to show evolution).
- Do not provide developer specific metrics; always aggregate to the project level.
- Describe each metric well and provide examples for its use (metrics detail page (template) fulfills this).
Here are the results to a preliminary survey: [image: image] https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8862021/24966162/d22f3fc8-1f6b-11e7-8f58-fc9fb7c233fa.png
