Craig,Is there any common location that compares stats of the Apache projects?
Not that I know of.
For example, we always report the forum postings and user registrations. How do we know if these are modest changes vs extremely active vs dormant?
We don't. What I put into the report is what I think is important for the board to know about OpenJPA. I don't track others' reports with the same degree of interest.
Just curious if there are common stats gathered and communicated across projects. Or, do we have to dive through the individual reports and come toour own conclusions?
Dive away.In Apache, each project is run by the PMC with some absolute rules and some guidelines; and the rest is up to the project. If too little information is provided by the project to the board, the board asks the project to improve. But the board really tries hard to stay out of the way of projects. It would be considered micromanaging the project for the board to require statistics, but not micromanaging to ask for reporting new committers and PMC members.

Thanks.
