What questions would we like to ask this data?

The code is now in a place where we can easily pull all of the metadata in any GitHub Org we have permissions to.

We already generate CSV files for the following questions:

• How much activity happens in the org per quarter grouped by activity type?
• How many unique users participate in the org each quarter in any way?
  • What is the growth % quarter-over-quarter?
• How many unique users participate in each type of activity?
  • What is the growth % quarter-over-quarter?

What other questions would we like to ask this data?

I've loaded these metrics into Google Sheets and added some basic graphs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fPQHIJniOC39Nn5ABibGIn1yY0G9f2ZBqlXLwAW82Bg/edit?usp=sharing

One thing I've noticed is that the quarter-over-quarter growth is quite noisy and not very useful. What we may want to compare is the quarterly growth rate compared to the same quarter in the prior year, given the variability in end and beginning of the year activity.

@daviddias @momack2 wanted to make sure this issue was on your radar so you could add some questions we should be asking this data.
