Here are a couple of ideas for measuring the success |
| 2 |
for a "Planet Gentoo": |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
1. Set a goal of X visits to the site. For example, |
| 5 |
if gentoo.org receives 1 million visitors a month, set |
| 6 |
a threshold for the Planet Gentoo to 1 to 3 per cent |
| 7 |
of gentoo.org's traffic. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
2. For the developer's maintaining a blog, set a |
| 10 |
quota of Y number of updates per month. If the blogs |
| 11 |
are not being updated once a month (as an example), |
| 12 |
then possibly it's not a good idea to maintain this |
| 13 |
site. As a result, the number of visitors starts to |
| 14 |
fall. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Please note that I don't know what the actual traffic |
| 17 |
to gentoo.org nor what a respectable amount of updates |
| 18 |
per month for a blog. However, there has to be a |
| 19 |
starting point. Start on the low side, yet high |
| 20 |
enough to merit dedicating some resources for |
| 21 |
implementation. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
At last the two metric above should show if there is |
| 24 |
enough interest. Who knows, we may find other metrics |
| 25 |
that should be included as well. |
