* Good metrics are hard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law .
|
||||
* The community does not officially endorse Stackalytics, a contribution
|
||||
statistics gathering service hosted by Mirantis. The community does not
|
||||
encourage attempting to boost one's contribution statistics by
|
||||
proposing large quantities of low-value commits or voting on large
|
||||
numbers of change proposals without providing thoughtful reviews.
|
||||
Activities like this appear to other members of the community as an
|
||||
attempt to game the system and contributors who engage in this will
|
||||
often lose credibility for themselves and their employers in the community.
|
||||
Instead, contributors should try to engage deeply with a single project or a
|
||||
small number of projects to gain understanding of the software component and
|
||||
build relationships with the other contributors for that project.
|
||||
|
||||
* Focusing staff on particular project areas, or towards particular goals is
|
||||
more effective than asking them to track activity over many projects.
