CHAOSS Vision

We work with open source projects and organizations to develop open source project health metrics and related tooling to enable assessing the health of open source projects in a structured and repeatable way. We work open because we need input from the users to create metrics that matter and match their way of thinking.

Hey @GeorgLink, congrats on your projects. Feedback related to your project vision: I would personally prefer only one sentence and remove some words to make it easier to read and comprehend.

Suggestion "We work with open source projects and organizations to develop health metrics and tools which assess their health in a structured and repeatable way to create metrics that matter and match their way of thinking."

Thanks @dajanamulaj

Here is the "UP-GOER FIVE TEXT EDITOR" version:

We work with open teams and businesses to make numbers about open teams. We also make a way to get these numbers. We work open because we need to hear from the people who use these numbers.

Hey @GeorgLink ,

Awesome and appropriate name you have chosen for your project.
For the Vision Statement, I found your statement much better when you included assessing term in it instead of numbers. Also, I felt it more connected when you included 'to develop health metrics and tools'.

Suggestion:
@dajanamulaj 's suggestion is great its just the "structured and repeatable way" needs to be more simple so that anyone can understand it.
