To visualize contributor activity, we could create a graph or dashboard that shows how different contributors are performing over a set period. This could include a variety of metrics like contributions per day/week, types of contributions, active vs. inactive periods, and more.
Here are a few ways to visualize it:
-
Bar or Line Chart for Contributions Over Time:
-
X-axis: Time (days/weeks/months)
-
Y-axis: Number of contributions
-
Each contributor could be represented by a different line or color, showing the level of activity over time.
-
-
Heat Map:
-
Visualizes contributions on a calendar or time grid. Darker colors could represent higher activity, while lighter colors indicate fewer contributions.
-
This can give you a quick overview of activity peaks and lulls.
-
-
Pie or Donut Chart:
-
Shows the proportion of total contributions made by each contributor.
-
Useful if you want to see the distribution of effort among a group.
-
-
Scatter Plot:
-
Each point could represent a contribution by a contributor, plotted on a time axis.
-
This can give a more granular view of when contributions happen, especially if there are large gaps between contributions.
-
Would you like to see an example of one of these? Or maybe some specific data visualization preferences you have in mind?
