I would like to suggest another approach at measuring the funnel. I
don't know whether this is feasible either but its just an idea that
I'd love some feedback on. Most Apache projects seem to be using Jira.
Contributors, Committers, PMC & Members are typically are on Jira. I
think code as well as non-code tasks should be tracked on Jira boards.
Most, but not all - and, critically, the projects that are the most
tapped into communities *outside* of the ASF are using GitHub issues and
have dropped JIRA entirely. Ignoring these will ignore a statistically
important part of our potential contributors. (I don't like the word
"funnel" here, it sounds too sales-y.)
We have an Apache metrics project, Kibble, that can keep track of both
jira and github (and whatever else we use). What I would love here, is
if we can agree upon, or find, or invent, a set of KPIs that are
programatically measurable and recommend these to the Kibble project as
an enhancement of their metrics program. It could be done in tandem with
a set of recommendations to projects on how to ensure that we can
capture non-code contributions in a fashion that is measurable within
the technological scope we normally have, so that 1) We have a set of
recommended ways of recording the activity that perhaps doesn't get as
much recognition and visibility as it should, and 2) get a way to
measure, visualize and report on these activities.
I am not suggesting that these be 'the truth', I'm always in favor of
following up quantity with quality, but it might be a good step in the
right direction.
With regards,
Daniel.
