You're looking for a metric like "number of questions answered" or "number of people helped" for #fedora. Helpdesk type hours would certainly be helpful for #fedora, regardless of how you track your metrics, but there's more to being helpful than punching in and I think that is what you want to be tracking. My $0.02 anyway. josh _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
