[maemo-community] MeeGo Metrics and Reporting

[From: tero.kojo at nokia.com]

Excellent initiative!

One question that came to my mind is the lower level metrics.
Is there a need to see some rough metrics on the server performance level?
I'm personally interested in those, but is there a wider interest?

P.S. I narrowed my answer to just the community list.
