4. Is Coral technology available for WordPress or other platforms?
Answer: It's a javascript/iframe embed code so it works on all platforms that allow that.WordPress plugin

- If you are doing any work in these areas of data & metrics for open source communities, or have general comments, please add below.
Questions:
1. How are you currently understanding and measuring diversity?
- I admit that CHAOS is not measuring diversity for itself right now, but I'm very interested in what others have to say. ~GeorgLink
- Historically we've not focused on this in our local community but I'm driving focus towards consistent consideration in every communication and planned outreach
2. Do you have any existing best practices or standards for improving diversity through inclusion?
- I'm starting to roll-out a mentor program via support of open leaders. The intention is to empower mentors to seek mentees different than themselves. Early days yet.
3. FOSS Heartbeat and GrimoireLab are examples of software designed to help us measure and understand healthy and inclusive communities. Can you suggest others (either used or under development?)
- https://kibble.apache.org/ <-- this is also general statistics focused but can be used this way if desired
- I'm curious about this but haven't investigated: https://maelstromdat.github.io/CodeFace4Smells/#/home
4. What practices for handling, maintaining and visualizing data do you currently follow? For example - thresholds for when data is visualized for a given demographic?
