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 I'm still torn if the credit system for Drupal is +1 or -1.
It's +1 for attributing multiple users who ensured an issue came to fruition versus commit authorship.
I think it's broken in how we tied it to the organizations empowering the individuals. Let individuals say they're doing it for their employer or some other organization. But ranking in the services listing is wrong.
@mglaman nice to see you over here!
