Am I understanding you correctly? I'm pretty sure that's what he meant, yeah.

Incidentally, Krd just made an attempt at implementing something like that (i.e. "live"-reporting the queue size) a few days (weeks?) ago, and I've suggested we post this to Commons directly rather than OTRS Wiki. It's pretty much experimental at the moment, and I think needs some tweaks first (Krd can tell you more), but I imagine this to be a file on Commons updated automatically on a daily basis, which can then be transcluded from some maintenance page. That way, Commons volunteers will get an idea of how permissions is doing at the moment. Here's an example with up-to-date values: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g78un01dx3krxdm/State_of_the_permissions-commons_queues_in_the_last_4_weeks.png?dl=0 -- I think that's pretty cool (the graph, that is, not the backlog ...). Now, as far as other metrics are concerned, it's something that we (as OTRS admins) are working on, but also something that is not too easy given OTRS' built-in reporting functionalities are so rudimentary, they can hardly be used to produce anything meaningful. Starting this month, however, we'll post monthly reports (rather than just an annual report), featuring first response times, workload distributions and ticket load. These will be posted with a bit of a delay (to be able to report the response time), i.e. the January report is due at the beginning of March. Our annual report for 2014 -- which will be signicantly expanded vis-à-vis the 2013 doc -- will be posted sometime during the next two weeks (an announcement will also be sent to this list). It's likely that there is quite some bid-ask spread when it comes to getting good stats, but I very much welcome your suggestions.
