The draft looks good! Regarding the metrics, here is how I collect them for the projects I report on:
1. Number of subscriber for a particular list eg dev: send email to [email protected]. Note that in order for this list command to work, you should be a moderator of the list. 2. For number of messages exchanged on a particular list eg dev - I look at the archive count from the mail-archives [1]. If you look at it right now, you will see that there were 94 messages in the month of July. Reporting by month is easier than by exact report period as it will otherwise require you to count messages etc. 3. For number of JIRA issues resolved, you can run a query in ASF JIRA with specific dates. The one that I usually run is something like "project = METAMODEL AND resolution = fixed AND resolutionDate > 2013-7-19". Note that you can change the date to the last report cut-off period in the future. See [2] for an example of this query run.
