Scenario: Developer logs in to http://wikitech.wikimedia.org and can define the organization she works for (e.g. WMF) and her location (e.g. San Francisco). She can also identify different handlers she is using in Gerrit, Bugzilla, Wikimedia mailing lists, etc. All this information is then synced with ouur automated community metrics at http://korma.wmflabs.org/ Reasoning: http://wikitech.wikimedia.org usernames are connected to Gerrit usernames, which is a good theoretical backbone to connect with other usernames in other developer tools e.g. Bugzilla. This is also potentially a good basis to gather more user data to improve our community metrics reports at http://korma.wmflabs.org e.g. organization and location of the contributors willing to share this information. Future: This would also be a preliminary step to the display of personal statistics in user profiles - now available in a first incarnation at e.g. http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/people.html?id=151&name=Jeroen%20De%20Dauw
We should also let users add their IRC nicks
I would also like to have an an option to add the Username in other Wikimedia wikis which are using SUL. (Question: Why is Wikitech not connected over SUL to the other wikis? For security reasons?)
Yes, we are already collecting (manually) IRC and mediawiki.org (aka SUL) username(s).
(In reply to comment #2) > I would also like to have an an option to add the Username in other Wikimedia > wikis which are using SUL. > > (Question: Why is Wikitech not connected over SUL to the other wikis? For > security reasons?) Wikitech is not in the normal Wikimedia cluster. Its authentication is LDAP backed and integrates with Labs, gerrit, and a few other web services. I do have a plan on how to make this work eventually, though: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Authentication_improvement_project#OpenID_as_a_consumer_of_SUL
Another idea from wikitech-l: allow users to define their periods of affiliation to certain organization e.g. * Before Nov 2012: independent. * Since Nov 2102 until now: Wikimedia Foundation Appparently Metrics Grimoire already can take this data and operate accordingly with it.
Yes, it is supported by VizGrimoireR: https://github.com/VizGrimoire/VizGrimoireR/blob/master/misc/domains_analysis.py#L49
