I made a mistake, what I meant was contributor activity, not contributor experience. The need for infra to be involved is an assumption at the moment. We still don't have all the details of what data is available, what would be interesting to analyze and how we should/could access it. These are questions we need to articulate to seek answers, and those answers will refine the statement of work.

I know you, Sharan and others have done excellent work with Apache Kibble, and perhaps this project provides plenty of data already, so it could be what serves as our data source. Would you be available to help us navigate this so we scope a string and meaningful deliverable?
