This is a form of output. In some social ventures success can be measured as social impact. From a technical side in Fedora, I believe this measurement is easier and can be measured by the innovations applied to every new release. From the non-technical aspect, it is a little more difficult to measure "success" That is why this is a good discussion of how we can measure this side of our "success". > > > i know you are very eager to start and that is the reason i try provide > > you an answer for your questions - maybe we can achieve something great > by > > combine things from both world. > > The right way to do things like that in fedora, would be a new "fedora > statistics group" which could be a place for all people who like to gather > data from fas, love to quantify and for people who want to interpret such > things - the benefit, it keeps the "deal with us own" in this group.
