http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/top-contributors.html should answer these questions: Wikimedia professionals apart, who are the top tech community contributors, what are their areas of activity and where are they based? Let's list everybody, not just the top 10. This will help the WMF and the Wikimedia movement knowing and supporting these contributors better. * Combined ranking of contributors of Git/Gerrit, Bugzilla, MediaWiki, Mailman, IRC. We'll need to find the formula. * Rankings for each channel. Tables are good, no need for graphs.
What we have discussed so far: * http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/top-contributors.html is already useful * now the universe is contributors ranking in the 5 activities, we should have everybody ranking in 4 * now te ranking is calculated based on the average position in the 5 activities, it should be based on the best 4 (discarding the 5th worst result) * it should be very easy to rank only the amateurs (independent and unknown) leaving aside the paid contributors Still, it is useful (and fun) to keep the table with everybody. I think that's all?
Forgot one detail discussed: the rankings are meant to be calculated based on the data of the last 12 months. This way the old glories will leave room to the new challengers sooner. One main motivation of this KPI is to identify current top independent contributors.
This table is now considered ready: http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/top-contributors.html We are still missing better strings, but this is a task for me. I'm taking the bug. Help / patches welcome. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Global_Pending_List still mentions "Count only the last 12 months" as a nice-to-have improvement.. If this item is still open when we close this bug, we will open a new bug report for it.
