In one of the threads leading up to this pre-GLEP, I proposed a |
20 |
requiring testable metrics for all activity. It was dropped for |
21 |
simplicity, as it's probably something that would merit it's own GLEP. |

It would NOT be a way to measure >1 contribution, but just a way to show |
24 |
the date of last contribution for each project where a dev is active. |
25 |
Specifically it would NOT disclose what that action was (because the |
26 |
action in itself may be protected/private information). |
27 |
|
28 |
Commits: last commit date (on both public & private repos). |
29 |
Bugzilla: last comment OR action date (even if the bug is private) |
30 |
Forums: date of last post OR mod-action (even if the post or mod-action |
31 |
is in a hidden/private forum) |
32 |
|
33 |
Bugzilla & Commits already do this effectively, it would be exposing the |
34 |
data more readily, and adding similar functionality for other projects. |
35 |
|
36 |
Think like an IRC bot responding to '!seen', but it only tells you when |
37 |
the person was seen [optionally for a specific project], and not exactly |
38 |
what they were saying/doing. |
