When I go to conferences like Open SourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software
for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed
and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. 
Bridge and see the other project community managers trotting out their activity 
stats, a little part of me always dies, because we ain’t got none. Not this year!
Yes, I know our systems aren’t set up well for automated stats. Pretend that’s not
the case. For the next two minutes, pretend we live in a world where anything is
possible, and suggest any and all stats you think it would good or interesting for
us to start tracking. Don’t worry, Otto will bring us back to earth soon enough.

P.S. This team more than any other will likely need some infrastructure changes 
if we want to start measuring progress/success. Feel free to add what you think 
is needed in your comment, but that’ll be my next round: “Hey, what infrastructure
changes would make the forum experience better for users and moderators,” since 
the forums is the first point of entry for a lot of people, so improvements here
can have a big impact on all the projects around contributor growth.
