Dashboard Status
The current MoFo contributor dashboard is our interim solution for counting contributors.
It is built in particular way to give us the quickest possible visibility into how many people are contributing to our work and to see if there are trends (e.g. growth). It has known limitations and for the full background on why we're working this way you can see the planning document.
Right now, the total number on this dashboard is TOO BIG and TOO SMALL
- It is too small because it doesn't yet include all of our data sources
- It is too big because contributors across our many data sources are not yet de-duped
We are working on both of these issues
- By integrating our remaining data sources
- This wiki page tracks the status of the existing data sources, and those we need to add (see below)
- To avoid double counting, we have an interim and a long term solution
- The interim is to do a one time load of our 'pots' of data into an offline integration database and analyze the overlap in contributors across activities, then apply a % reduction on our non-deduped number in the interim dashboard
- The long term solution is a live and updated integration database, which is project Baloo (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Baloo)
Data sources:
- Working with MoFo teams to fill in all the holes in the data Working Document, Status Tracking
~37% of 2013 Baseline Numbers now live
data source in place:
- Github (code contribution and issues) (~3%)
- Transifex (Webmaker & Appmaker) (partial coverage due to Transifex API) (~10%)
- MozFest (~20%)
- Webmaker Events (~4%)
In review
- Ad-hoc contributions (cross-team) ~10% (with Adam)
- This tool has been built, but needs (security review) as it will store PII (email addresses)
- Then it will need the teams to log their data
- Preview the tool here
data sources in development:
- OpenNews contributors to Source ~1% (with Ryan)
- Science Lab (with Adam to look at databases)
- Badge Issuers ~15% (with Chris M, but TBC on contribution status)
data source to follow
- Bugzilla ~3%
- Sumo
- Other "MakerMind" actions (e.g. tagging content as web literacy)
- Contributor Badges Issued most of the remaining %
- Science Lab data to be identified
