[Sugar-devel] Response in Re: you needed Assistance

[Pratul Kumar]

Hello James,
Hope you are doing well.

 This all information would be part of Developer Dashboard

> Repositories must also include those that are not in the /sugarlabs/
organization, such as the Help Activity and many others.

For this, if you can let me know regarding other potential repositories,
then I can have a add them to my script too.

> I still don't think a developer dashboard will help Sugar Labs at a social
level, because we have so few developers.

Each year new developer's are there around GCI who are looking for the
organization to contribute and be their part,
What I feel that want things to be ease contribute to the organization
through Github, but without having the knowledge to do so they step back.
Further, new developers need some social rewards for their work, if that
can be reflected in our Developer Dashboard.
Let us give a try to improve our developer count through this methodology,
although it won't give a drastic improvement.

If required then that can be used to organize our own program like GCI for
about a months before GCI with a bit similar methodology, where our new
mentors
can know what they need to do during GCI. This is to engage a greater
number of Developers to Sugarlabs.

Pratul Kumar
