Ambassadors Membership

  • As of 2008-04-14, 352 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined 'ambassadors' group). The Ambassadors statistics page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Statistics ) will hopefully be updated soon with more accurate numbers. FabianAffolter will use his script as long that we have no better option to generate some statistics through FAS2.
  • FrancescoCrippa made some improvements his "stats" script. Now it runs also for "EditGroup" page or other "group" pages. He have also made a small project based on turbogear to put charts online automatically. Helping hands are welcome.
