Hello, currently I'm preparing a proposal for this year's GSoC [1]. The goal is to build a dashboard/graph analysis tool using UDD data to visualise technical dependencies vs social metadata (maintainer activity, teams...).
This tool can be used to display statistics like: * Packages with the most dependents * Critical packages with low bus factors * Infrequent maintainer activity * Packages with too many contributors While those are just a few examples I could come up with, there's an infinite amount of ways we can display the information. My priority is to make sure the tool is useful for your daily work. Are there specific indicators you would like to see visualised? 75% of the GSoC projects have a project length of 12 weeks but can be extended to 22 weeks if required [2]. In my opinion 12 weeks are sufficient for this task to solve. That said, I'd limit the amount of statistics to 3 max 4 to make sure the student focuses on the real implementation rather than designing 10 different KPIs. We can always extend the platform later if needed. Furthermore, if anyone in the QA-Team is interested in providing technical feedback on the UDD integration, I'd be happy to have you on board. Feedback is very welcome :-) [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-ai/2026/02/msg00092.html (just for context) [2] https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline#june Regards, -- Arian Ott [email protected]
