Hi

Some of the indicators you mention already exist. I provide the url in the rest of the message. Let me know if you need to summarize all this under a specific "catalog qa page"

Positive measures could include:
   New package submission - Count of packages that didn't previously exist
   Updated packages           - Count of packages that increment their
version number
These are available from : http://www.opencsw.org/get-it/package-statistics/
It's a monthly view


Negative measure could include:
   Patched packages           - Count of packages submitted that didn't
increment their version number
Pretty much easy to compute (taking in account what is already done)
Neutral but interesting stats could include:
   Number of gar managed packages       - new or updated packages managed by gar
   Number of non-gar managed packages - new or updated packages from
outside of gar
This is available from http://www.opencsw.org/qa/

This page provides several link to the different catagories. You will find the detailled list of data and instant values. I started to created some statistics based upon these data. I can push it son now that there are some data to display :)

   -- These speaks to quality if one accepts that packages built and
maintained through gar are both easier to update and/or takeover
   Number of package takeovers              - indicative of the
stability of the maintainer-ship
It's not too difficult to implement
Other non-catalog stats to report
   Track / Report post counts to the various mailing lists  -
indicative of the vibrancy of the various constituencies
   Wiki updates (Gar/OpenCSW)                                   -
indicative of readily available documentation
   OpenCSW site updates                                            -
indicative of the freshness of the site
Existing solution does not cover this. It does not mean it cannot be done nor it's a bad idea :P It just mean it has tobe done ;)

Cheers
W.
