Feature Request: Enhanced Metrics Page with Detailed OCF Repository Contributions

Detailed Description

Currently, the OCF Control Center provides high-level metrics with graphical representations of trends, such as total balance, contributors, and community metrics. However, the existing implementation lacks detailed insights into individual repositories and their contributors. To enhance the value of this dashboard, I propose extending the functionality to include:

1. A detailed breakdown of OCF repository contributors, including:
   • Individual contributors and their contributions (e.g., number of commits, lines of code).
   • Contribution trends for each repository.
   • Contributor roles (e.g., core member, occasional contributor).
2. Repository-specific information such as:
   • Active repositories.
   • Commit activity trends.
   • Open and closed issues.
   • Pull requests merged.

Context

This feature is essential for understanding the granular contributions driving OCF's projects. It allows stakeholders to:

• Identify active contributors and recognize their efforts.
• Monitor repository activity over time.
• Gain insights into collaboration and progress for each project.

Expanding the dashboard will benefit both internal stakeholders and external viewers by providing more actionable insights and transparency into OCF's operations.

Possible Implementation

1. UI Enhancements:

   • Create a new section/page that lists all repositories with detailed metrics.
   • Use a table or card-based layout for contributor information.
   • Include interactive graphs for repository activity trends.

2. Backend Changes:

   • Fetch repository and contributor data from platforms like GitHub via APIs.
   • Aggregate and process data for visualizations.

3. Visualization Tools:

   • Integrate tools like D3.js, Chart.js, or Plotly for advanced charts.
   • Add filtering and sorting options for repositories and contributors.

4. Navigation:

   • Add a new tab or link to access detailed repository and contributor information.

@peterdudfield, please review the idea and let me know if I should proceed with it.

[peterdudfield]

Thanks @akshayw1 great idea. We use this website sometimes - https://next.ossinsight.io/analyze/openclimatefix?period=past_90_days#engagement. Does this cover things, or are there some more things you want to add?

[akshayw1]

Oh, that's great to know that contributor insights are well covered! In the metrics, we also track Commercial Metrics like:
Product Revenue,Employees , Grants/Contracts Awarded,Partnerships
Do we have any similar detailed insights or analytics for these commercial metrics? It could help us visualize growth trends and key changes in these areas. @peterdudfield

[peterdudfield]

We deinfately try to be open as much as possible. For example letting people know our news in a qyarter new letter. You can join our mailing list at the bottom here - https://www.openclimatefix.org/. We are a non for profit, but I hope you understand at the moment, we can be completely open with some of the commerical metrics

@peterdudfield I noticed that the workflow for updating Twitter followers and other details doesn't seem to be functioning. Is this an issue that needs to be addressed, or have they been intentionally turned off?

[peterdudfield]

Feel free to fix, but we have moved more towards Blue Sky, but I'm not fully in the loop there

[akshayw1]

Okay,I'm adding this to my list. Currently exploring repositories at OCF to find one where I can contribute the most.

Great stuff, we try to set up https://github.com/orgs/openclimatefix/projects/36 in the new year, so its a good one to keep an eye on
