And what would be done with this information? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'm sure the games metrics would be dismal, as would be the metrics for |
| 36 |
many categories. I suspect you already believe this as well, as do most of |
| 37 |
the Council members. So, what is the point of this exercise? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It isn't like you need some kind of special access to analyze our |
| 40 |
bugs/commits. Everything is open. If somebody wants to post the metrics |
| 41 |
they should feel free to do so. Do we need the Council to vote on a |
| 42 |
resolution "encouraging members of the community to post metrics for |
| 43 |
projects they are interested in, including games, or create tools to |
| 44 |
automate this?" |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The problem isn't measuring activity within categories. The problem is |
| 47 |
doing anything about it. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Also, I'd again like to point out that games != packages maintained by |
| 50 |
games@g.o, since it seems like we spent an inordinate amount of time trying |
| 51 |
to break this connection in previous years. You don't need permission from |
| 52 |
the games alias to maintain a game, just as you don't need permission from |
| 53 |
the python alias to maintain a package that uses python, or permission from |
| 54 |
the openrc alias to install an init.d script for a package. So, if |
| 55 |
somebody is interested in metrics on games I wouldn't measure it based on |
| 56 |
packages/bugs assigned to games@g.o, unless you're interested very |
| 57 |
specifically in things like the games eclass and so on. |
