Hello! Was nice talking with you all yesterday. Such a nice group! I look forward to the next discussion.
Anyway, I wanted to start moving forward with the issue of “Community
Development”. As usual, I will start by asking a few questions, then trying to
commit these to the documentation.
In the context of: "we want to grow the community because a healthy community
means a better and more relevant product for everybody”:
* Do we know how many
Users/Operators/Integrators/Developers/Contributors/Committers this community
has right now?
* What are some of the metrics we can use to measure the “health” of the
community?
- Commits?
- Issues filed?
- Emails sent?
- Number of committers?
- What else?
* Within these metrics, is it possible to gather the data automatically (in
order to keep an updated website)?
* In terms of community membership and growth of the community:
- Which of the above metrics do we want to focus on in terms of growth?
- What timeframe should the growth objective be set for? (Monthly?
Annually?)
- What should the growth target be?
- What is the current community will to do (or not do) to make this happen?
Hopefully this should get the ball rolling.
BTW, it is acceptable to say:
* It would be great to achieve A, but I am not willing to do anything
Cheers,
