Hello community, I’m writing this proposal to promote the deployment of CHAOSS GrimoireLab (https://chaoss.community/ ), a set of community health metrics and open-source tool-chain maintained by a group of developers and researchers. To put it simply, it automatically generates a range of rich metrics/visualizations coming from our Git, GitHub repo, IRC, Twitter, Mail list, and more. The goal is to facilitate community growth and identify potential health problems.
Please refer to this official demo(https://chaoss.biterg.io/ ) for a quick feeling of the charm of this tool. You can navigate through different dashboards and timeframes via the top-right bar. If I counted correctly, there are over 30 projects in the SkyWalking ecosystem, either official or hosted outside of the foundation. We can use this tool to help us get a clear view of the activities from a high level. From this step, we can face our strengths and problems and fix them as a community. I propose to start a skywalking-community(or another name, currently - https://github.com/Superskyyy/sw-community ) repository in the foundation, where only a set of configuration files, customized dashboards and a deployment script will be hosted there. The GrimoireLab tool-chain is under GPLv3, but we can deploy its image directly; nothing violating the rule is added to the foundation. The resulting web dashboard is available for everyone to visit and serves as a community showcase to our developers, users, and the people to join us in the future. Please provide your opinions and vote on the matter. Kind Regards, Yihao Chen (Superskyyy)
