Contribute/analysis

Mozilla Contributor / Contribution Analysis Project (Joint MoCo & MoFo)

This page is a home for a short piece of work happening in Oct/Nov 2014 to explore some of our existing contribution data.

The goal and scope of the work:

• Explore existing contribution datasets to look for possible insights and metrics that would be useful to monitor on an ongoing basis, before the co-incident workweek in Portland at the beginning of December.

• We will:
  • Stress-test our current capacity to use existing contribution data
  • Look for actionable insights to support Mozilla-wide community building efforts
  • Run ad-hoc analysis before building any 'tools'
  • If useful, prototype tools that can be re-used for ongoing insights into community health
  • Build processes so that contributors can get involved in this metrics work
  • Document gaps in our existing data / knowledge
  • Document ideas for future analysis and exploration
