Contribute/Community Health
How can we measure community health? What are it's key performance indicators (KPIs)?
During the August 2014 CBT workweek we create this list of indicators:
- Retention (how many contributors are staying and leaving)
- Growth (how many new contributors are joining)
- Development (how many contributors are increasing their skills and/or having projects with greater commitment)
- Sentiment (how do contributors feel about being involved)
- Capacity (how are teams increasing their ability to build communities)
Do these indicators make sense? Are there indicators we're missing? How does diversity (breadth) of contributors and contributions fit in?
