<div dir="ltr">Just in case there weren't enough projects erupting around MeeGo, here's another.  :D<br />
<br />
I think most of us understand that at the root of successful projects lies good data.  To that notion, Dawn Foster and I have started an effort to establish metrics definitions and reporting solutions for the MeeGo community.  As a Data Analyst I am constantly frustrated by how frequently reporting is an afterthought and would prefer we get this exploration started now instead of waiting for the need.<br />
<br />
maemo.org has a solid history of reporting as exemplified by Stephen Gadsby's popular bug jars, but for MeeGo we are looking at taking this to the next level.<br />
<br />
Dawn set up a new wiki page at <a href="http://wiki.meego.com/Metrics">http://wiki.meego.com/Metrics</a> and I have added content which I will share here:<br />
<br />
<p><strong>Metrics to capture: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>builds</li>
<li>performance and error metrics</li>
<li>bugzilla reports (Intel has some of this already from Moblin that we can re-use).</li>
<li>various open source aspects</li>
<li>membership / user accounts</li>
<li>mailing list subscriptions / participation</li>
<li>contributor activity</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Points to consider: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Reporting solution</li>
<li>Report sharing methods</li>
<li>Public vs Private data</li>
</ul>
I'll start things off by proposing we look into reporting solutions that are highly flexible, scalable and support a variety of typical report-sharing methods.  I would consider a good benchmark to be MicroStrategy (<a href="http://microstrategy.com/">http://microstrategy.com/</a>) although it would make sense to identify good open source alternatives.  MicroStrategy does have a free version (<a href="http://www.microstrategy.com/freereportingsoftware/">http://www.microstrategy.com/freereportingsoftware/</a>) that could be utilized if we don't find that alternative.<br />
<br />
I have added Dawn and myself as contributors but feel free to include yourself on the list if you would like to participate.<br />
<br />
Thanks all,<br />
