Bug ID: 55626
Summary: Relating tech contributors with countries
Product: Analytics
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Tech community metrics

Currently we have no way to map tech contributors to their geographical
locations. This is useful to know where in the World there is a higher density
of contributors. This is also potentially useful for contributors to find who
is nearby.
Without this data we can't assess properly who contributes code:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Who_contributes_code
So far we have published a form to allow contributors to introduce their data:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RFUa2zBAOolw78W-ozJPoYlR2lYbrAOYvOZYgjaAYQg/viewform
What needs to be done is to integrate that data at http://korma.wmflabs.org and
document the process to update the data.
Not in the scope of this report: come up with a way to allow contributors to
manage this data directly through their user profiles.
Not in the current scope either: we are starting with countries but it would be
good to think of a more precise way to define locations. Contributors of
Vancouver (Canada) and Seattle (USA) can meet easily, but currently they will
be separate and grouped together with contributors of e.g. Montréal (Canada)
and New York (USA), thousands of miles away.
