I don’t think open issues is a very useful metric because an open issue may stick around for 10 years and just stay low priority. So number of open issues doesn’t really mean much. Maybe instead show issue velocity of how many created+closed each period to show activity. Or show commits.
- danthelion 3y agoYeah, I definitely agree, more sophisticated metrics are in the pipeline. Wanted to get an MVP out as quickly as possible.
- yieldcrv 3y agothey're all useless vanity metrics that cannot offer any comparison to another organization or project software that is complete also fails every vanity metric
- prepend 3y agoIt depends on what you’re measuring. If you just want to see if a project is active then commits is useful. If you want to see if there are multiple committers, then active people is useful. I don’t think you should compare repos based on this metric, but knowing if a repo is active or not is something.
