Capacity is a measure of the community building potential of teams. Knowing the capacity of a team helps us determine where contributors are going to most likely be able to successfully get involved and gives us insight into what areas to focus on to get more people involved with Mozilla.

Measuring Capacity

Capacity is measured by looking at three different factors:

  • What are the community building resources on a team?
  • What are the contribution paths volunteers can use to get involved?
  • What data is available to provide visibility into contributor activity?

Each of these areas can be measured as high, medium or low and the combination of the three measurements provides on overall high, medium or low measurement of capacity for a team.

Resources

Resource measurements are made by looking at the following:

High Team has one or more people dedicated to community building (Community Builder)
Medium Team has one or more people spending part of their time on community building (Steward)
Low Team has no one actively spending time on community building
