[sgoggins]

This issue was created to collect comments about the rolling release of "Inactive Contributors"

This thread is for comments about the proposed metric Inactive Contributors

The proposed new metric is here: https://github.com/chaoss/wg-evolution/blob/master/metrics/Inactive_Contributers.md

The Comment period start date is May 6, 2020, and will conclude on June 6, 2020.

The markdown file needs the disclaimer added in Italics under the question -

This metric is a release candidate The 30 day comment period for this metric begins on xx/xx/xxxx and ends on xx/xx/xxxx. To comment on this metric please see Issue #xx Following the comment period this metric will be included in the next regular release.

I added the disclaimer in PR chaoss/wg-evolution#358

LGTM!
However, I have one minor concern, especially, when we mention "getting a list of all contributors." It's important to first filter out all bots contributors, without which the list of active contributors might be biased by the influence of bots.

@klumb are we ready to move this forward for the next rolling release?

[klumb]

Yes, this can be moved to the website.

Next steps:

• Change disclaimer in markdown to read - This metric is part of the continuous release process and has been through the 30-day review period. However, the information displayed on this page may still be edited prior to the regular release.
• Add the metric to the release notes issue Evolution Continous Release Notes wg-evolution#353
• Add the metric to the website Github release page and release notes page.
• Add the metrics page to the Wordpress site (I will do this - Kevin)

Note the process is changed so this specific comment is deprecated.

This metric was a bit difficult to follow. I rewrote for legibility in chaoss/wg-evolution#362. Also, the Data Collection Strategy right now reads like "go figure it out yourself" 😄. It could reuse much of the wording in Issue Active to help the reader understand where to go next.

@ilam56, do you have a screenshot of graphing inactive contribution somewhere that could be added in?

@sgoggins
Is this metric ready?

[sgoggins]

@klumb : Yes.

This metric could use a refresh for clarity and readability.

Doing a little repo cleanup today and I'm going to close this, as we are currently updating all metrics to a new metric template, including a refresh.
