Just jotting down some ideas for additional Fedora Metrics. Data over time and graphs would be very useful in media to show using actual numbers the growth of Fedora in activity, contributors and packages. These graphs would also be very useful in making business cases to RH in showing the success of Fedora investment, as we try to justify more targeted investments.
Data Sources ============ 1) cvsextras-sponsors@fp.org receives all of the notices where people request and are granted access to the cvsextras group. We have no official mail archive of this. Does anyone personally have an archive of cvsextras-sponsors mail going back to the beginning when Sopwith launched the system?
Harvesting that mail archive would allow us to graph absolute # of Fedora package contributors over time. This however tells us nothing about activity.
2) Check-in activity on the two commits lists could tell us: - how many contributors were active in a given month - how active was package activity in general - how many new packages - how many actively maintained packages
3) Metadata within CVS could tell us similar information as above.
Any other ideas for potential statistics grabbing opportunities?

This is somewhat divergent from what Warren was talking about but do we monitor network traffic and/or hardware utilization? I have used MRTG in the past for this type of thing and it was rather handy.

Yes we do, we're using cacti. This and the stuff warren is talking about are both things I'd like to add to a fedora noc I'd like to work on (or have someone work on) I have already built a few things in turbogears including an ajax powered load monitor for all the hosts. My big issue has been time. The cacti instance is private but the noc would allow specific graphs to be shown to the general public.
