Really cool, useful and in one word: wow. Additional features could be * to scan the svn logs for to see if there's any activity (last week, last month, ever), and by how many different committers * to scan the dev@ list archives to see if there's any activity (last week, last month, ever) * to scan the issue tracker (or issue list) for any action * to list the number of committers (and growth since incubation started, requires date added column in status file), added in the last quarter, half year, year
Controversial (could be considered intruding on the mentor role): * to scan the private@ list archives to see if there's any activity (or more than there should be) Martijn On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 12:37 PM, David Crossley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently found that some new projects get a little > lost at the acceptance phase.
