Closed cdolfi closed 10 months ago

cdolfi commented 11 months ago

Ive gotten feedback from multiple people that they do not know what "prolificacy" means (and even though ive looked it up before each time I have to re google because I dont remember it either). Lets come up with a different title with a more commonly known word

@cdolfi @JamesKunstle

What about "Contributor Traffic ..." since we're trying to convey a measure of participation in discrete time steps ?

cdolfi commented 11 months ago

@christinaexyou hm I dont know about traffic. This visualization gives a view into the minimum number of contributors that compose a certain percentage of a specific contribution type. Noodling on this as well today

christinaexyou commented 11 months ago

@cdolfi "Conditional Contributor Engagement/Participation..." ?, conditioned on the different adjustable parameters in the visualization.

JamesKunstle commented 11 months ago

What about simplifying and going with "Lottery Factor: ${month} Windows"? I did a little reading and 'Lottery Factor' and 'Bus Factor' are also common terms in business teams for responsibility coverage. The hover could say "${number} people contributing ${percentage} of ${action_type}"

cdolfi commented 11 months ago

@JamesKunstle I really like your suggestion. For some reason it feels like there some be a term for "minimum number of x to meet a threshold" but after sitting on it for a week im not sure if there is.

JamesKunstle commented 11 months ago

@cdolfi I totally feel what you mean. Even noodling on it for a week, nothing short-hand comes to mind. I feel like that's why we have to lean on the term for the definition and just define "lottery factor" in the 'about' pane.

cdolfi commented 11 months ago

@JamesKunstle Agreed, and I am a big fan of using a term that is already adopted in other community analysis

JamesKunstle commented 11 months ago

Also: consider changing pie chart title too

cdolfi commented 10 months ago

@JamesKunstle I agree on the title change for the Pie chart as well. Maybe something like "(Activity type here) Lottery Factor" ?

christinaexyou commented 10 months ago

@cdolfi @JamesKunstle how does "Lottery Factor: Top {k} Contributors by {action type}" sound ?

JamesKunstle commented 10 months ago

@cdolfi @christinaexyou Yeah that sounds great to me. I think putting those things in the title is super useful.
