Hi, folks, With my board term over, I have some ideas of things I want to do around ComDev, and more time to do them. I’ve been tinkering with some small tools to do basic activity discovery around ASF projects, and I wanted to make this available to a larger audience.
Those things are here - https://github.com/rbowen/comdev - (well, some of them) and I’d like to propose that we create a top-level https://github.com/apache/comdev and move this there. There’s two sets of tools here. There’s the asf-highlights directory (naming is, of course, open for suggestions) which is for us to ask “what’s happening at the ASF that we can promote?”. The project-activity directory is more focused on a PMC asking “what’s happening in my project?” - perhaps as part of writing one’s quarterly report, or looking for things to promote, and may also be just for general project health/metrics tools. Note that there’s some overlap with Tooling, and these are not intended to be quite as full featured as those. But what I’d like to do, over time, is encourage projects to be introspective at times other than board report time. I have, for example, a tool that looks at git repos, mailing lists, and roster information, and asks “Who should I nominate next to be a committer?” (It’s not in here yet because it relies on some internal AWS AI tooling, and I’m hoping to remove that dependency.) I’d also like to have the Issues feature turned on for this proposed repo, as a place to track contribution/collaboration opportunities. As I said above, I have some things I'd like to do around ComDev in the coming year, and they all require help, and I want a place to request this help, and track progress. Setting up the repo is self-service, and Drew has offered to do that part. I’m just asking for as simple +1/-1 here on the idea.
