ROS Community Metrics
We measure aspects of the ROS community to understand and track the impact of our work and identify areas for improvement. We take inspiration from the MeeGo Project's metrics.
Related: a crowd-sourced map of ROS users around the world.
Reports
We periodically publish a metrics report that provides a quantitative view of the ROS community. We expect to publish a report quarterly, though more automation in the data gathering steps could make it feasible to do more frequently.
We're collectively learning what to measure and how. Please provide feedback! Add your suggestions on how to improve these reports below, or post them to ros-users@.

- How big are wiki edits?
- How are answers spread across users?
- How many commits were made? (requires a multi-VCS crawler)
- How many tickets were opened/closed? (requires a multi-tracker crawler)
- Which OS is used? (view count comparison for the installation subpages)
