Are crazy ideas welcome in this phase? I start with 2 below: Preface: an idea circulates about visually displaying in a web page the projects.yaml file and the tags in there. Visitors would be able to browse the list of projects and sort, pick, search and find what they need from a nice representation of the 'big tent'. 1) how about we pull the popularity of OpenStack projects as reported in the User Survey and display such number on the page where we list the projects? What if, together with the objective tags managed by TC and community at large, we show also the number of known deployment as guidance? 2) there are some 'fairly objective' indicators of quality of open source code, developed in a handful of academic projects that I'm aware of (Calipso and sos-opensource.org come to mind, but there are other). Maybe we can build a tool that pulls those metrics from each of our repositories and provides more guidance to visitors so they can form their own mind? Nobody can really vet for 'production ready' but probably we can provide data for someone to get a more informed opinion. Too crazy? .stef __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
