It really depends on what sort of detail we want to analyse it in. A simple metric will be the activity on the fedora-join channels, and the number of newcomers we temporarily add to the new FAS group. For a more detailed measure, we could see what the average time between membership to this group and to a team is. There's lots more we can do *if* we have the manpower (at the moment, we don't). I don't know how we'll compare it to the existing processes, though---we haven't had metrics traditionally on onboarding or I'm not aware of them. I'm personally only looking at increasing activity in the Join SIG channels, concentrating newcomers there where they can be helped in one place and where they can make friends and get comfortable before diving into teams and tasks. I especially don't want to make elaborate plans and major overhauls---they don't tend to go anywhere simply because we don't have the manpower or run out of it before anything substantial can be done. The idea is to make the smallest tweaks to existing processes. If at all possible, please comment on the ticket so the discussion remains in one place. I wanted to let infra know so that if we do request a new FAS group and take over the "wikiedit" workflow, it doesn't come as a shock :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
