Hey #opensource friends! What are your thoughts on measuring #contribution to open source projects? Is that a worthy pursuit? Is there a methodology that works well? I'm mostly only familiar with the #Drupal credit system, but I am curious about these types of metrics in general.
@katherined definitely hard to measure automated and based on metadata only, since contributions can vary greatly. E.g. issue tracking bonus systems lead to behavioural changes to optimise your footprint. Identifying high value contributions being well thought and based on experience is hard, also things like community building etc are difficult...
@marwe I wholeheartedly agree!
