Automated Project Health reports
I am playing with how to automate gathering data to support a project health dashboard.
Here are some ideas:
- Data can be augmented with information in the private project repository
- Raw statistics collected in the private project repository (JSON)
- Rendered dashboards with aggregated data + signatory comments could be rendered as markdown + mermaid in GitHub and optionally on the website (foundation repository)
I would like some other opinions on information that is useful (or not) to include.
- Some information requires tending (like # of committers).
- Some information does not currently have a great API to fetch (download statistics from Maven, though there may be better ways to do this with upgraded tools).
Any other thoughts/ideas?
