We had a great session, and a lot of energy, hopefully we can make some progress. One note: this needs to be a comdev PMC project, and we need to really plan the data part out if we want to be successful.
Note that projects-new.a.o is the planned future replacement for projects.a.o - there are *significant* differences, so you need to look at the About page and the source repo. In particular, the new site uses it's own new JSON generated sources which (I think) will no longer use the DOAPs. In particular, Infra currently does *not* consider either the data gathering (i.e. populating the JSON behind the projects-new site) nor the visualizations (current or ones we want to build) as core supported services. So whatever we build needs to be maintained by this PMC to start with. Also, Link dump of useful related bits: ---------------- Old service, based on crappy cron jobs and DOAP files from projects: https://projects.apache.org/ New service, soon to be infra supported, relying on JSON data generated by infra on a regular schedule: https://projects-new.apache.org/ Useful PMC chair report helper, that surfaces a number of different statistics about your PMC(s), including mailing list stats, PMC/committer changes, some software releases, etc. etc. (Members have visibility to all PMCs): https://reporter.apache.org Rob Weir (AOO, Member) used to do some visualization stuff and might have code ideas: http://www.robweir.com/blog/2013/05/mapping-apache.html Ken Coar's old mailing list stats page: https://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html The AOO project wrote a mailing list visualizer for who talks to whom: https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/visualizing_the_aoo_dev_list Some outside statistics FLOSSmole generated about Apache communities and lists: http://flossmole.org/category/tags/apache Random other interesting analytics: The Subversion project has the "contribulyzer" - Shane
