UCL Open Source Dashboard

This dashboard is a snapshot of data about open source software from some of UCL's GitHub organisations. All the metrics are based on the Last Updated Date reflected on the top of the dashboard. It is maintained by the Open Source Team in the Centre for Advanced Research Computing.

Definitions

Contributors: A contributor is an individual that has added some code to the current repository. This metric calculates the current number of contributors.

Watchers: The number of users who are tracking a particular repository, receiving notifications regarding its activity.

Open Issues: Issues are tickets that represent bugs or new features that other people report and can collaborate on. Open issues are total of unresolved issues.

Open PR's: A pull request is a request to make a change to the files of the project (code, documentation, README changes, etc.). Open PR's are the total of pull requests with status Open.

Merge PR's: A total of Pull Requests that are accepted into the code base of the project.

Total Fork: A fork is a copy of the current repository belonging to another user. Total Forks is how many times the repository has been copied.

Open Issues Median Age: Median number of days for all issues with Open status. If the issue age is zero (meaning there are no open issues), we display "N/A".

Close Issues Median Age: Median number of days for all issues with Closed status. If the issue age is zero (meaning there are no open issues), we display "N/A".

Issue Response Median Age: Median response time of issues that has a response. If the issue response age is zero (meaning there are no comments), we display "N/A". If the first response is by the creator of the issue the comment is not counted.

Issue Response Average Age: Average response time of issues that has a response. If the issue response age is zero (meaning there are no comments), we display "N/A". If the first response is by the creator of the issue the comment is not counted. Calculation is Issues Total Response Time divide by Total Issues
