I’ve submitted Hoodie to GSoC: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/. I will update the project description based on our discussion here :)

Hoodie Community Dashboard

Short description (180 chars)

We want to grow the most welcoming Open Source community possible. But community management lacks tools – lets change that! For Hoodie, and all of Open Source

Long description

As community, we strive to be as welcoming as possible. As we shift our focus to reach people beyond developers and to appreciate contributions beyond just code, we found that the we lack the right tools.

Based on our experiences from the past years 4+ years, we have several tools that we want to create to support our community maintainers. Many of these tools might become useful to other communities, too! For example

• Community Vitality Dashboard: show the balance between work load, active contributors and active maintainers: https://tinyurl.com/hvp3t3b
• Community Member Management: keep track of its members as a team of maintainers. There are many contact managements and CRMs tools out there, but none takes the unique environment of an open source community into account. Most of the data should be public, private notes should be the exception, not the rule.
• Bots. Lots of bots :) Bots are little applications that watch activity on GitHub, Twitter, Slack etc and can react to certain events and can help maintainers to keep an overview and contributors engaged. We have lots of ideas for bots that could help us a lot with the chore work in the Hoodie community
• hoodie.camp: Hoodie Camp is our community dashboard. It currently is very basic and only loads issues from GitHub that are "up for grabs". We want hoodie.camp to became the single place for everyone who is or wants to become a contributor to the Hoodie community
