Talk:BugZappers/Metrics

We are working to create some basic metrics to report on the activities on the BugZappers. The current approach is to use the python-bugzilla package as much as possible.

Tools You Will Need

 * The python-bugzilla package. (Try 'yum install python-bugzilla'
 * The modified bugzilla CLI to add the --summary option. I (jraber) suggest saving this as ~/bin/bzilla (only because that is what I have done)

Additional Thoughts/Questions

 * Q:Who are the BugZappers? A:BugZappers = Members of he Triagers group in FAS. But since this is not easy to scrape (and may included inactive persons) I am going to use the following definition.  BugZappers = BugZilla users that have used the 'Triaged' flag in the previous 90 days.
 * Eventually, these metrics should probably come from a SQL query. Pulling all this data via XMLRPC could be slow.
 * Pretty graphs could be created showing how these metrics change (or don't) over time.
 * What other metrics should we be tracking?
 * Should these metric be limited to bugs where Product=Fedora & Classification=Fedora?
