--- Comment #9 from Alvaro <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Quim Gil from comment #8) > I still find your answer slightly confusing: > > > In order to get this number, we get the total amount of open and close at > > the end of the month, and the difference is the pending. > > Ok, if this is the case then the number is correct. But then, what does this > have to do with adding the inherited amount of the past month? This is bad wording from my side. In order to measure the total pending issues in a month, you need to add to the new pending issues for this month and all previous pending issues. > > The ultimate test: > > 1.

We have reviewed in deep the metric and the final number is right (1646 total pending reviews now), but the evolution in time was not right because we were using as close date, the date in which the review was submitted. After fixing this issue, I have updated the graph and now the tendency is better. The queue is growing, but now is growing less. In some months like March 2014, you have closed more reviews than opened. I need to recheck is WIP and -1 filters are been used here, because they were added to mediawiki new time measures, but this is a generic metric. But the "core" of the problem is fixed. I will continue reporting on this ticket the rest of open issues (WIP and -1) and cross checking data. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
