Meeting summary
---------------

* comparison of metrics tools, led by Jason  (glink, 19:10:39)
  * IDEA: should we set up comparison use cases for each tool?  (glink,
    19:11:06)
  * IDEA: one feature that would be helpful in a tool is custom
    classifications on top of trace data to allow for custom
    visualizations and analysis, e.g. theory: incubating projects are
    more active than mature projects  (glink, 19:14:48)
  * GrimoireLab is great in its modular setup and API accessibility.

    (glink, 19:21:51)
  * A workaround for lack of diagraming in metrics tools is to export
    the compiled data and create diagrams in Excel, R, Octave, D3.js, or
    other diagraming tools  (glink, 19:24:05)

* correlation between metrics  (glink, 19:24:14)
  * Question: What impact does changing specific metrics have on other
    metrics?  (glink, 19:25:08)
  * One challenge is personal information such as location of
    contributors.  (glink, 19:27:49)
  * ACTION: Matt will share a fork of the CHAOSS repo with ongoing work
    in correlating metrics and building them out.  (glink, 19:29:10)

* comparison of metrics tools, led by Jason  (glink, 19:29:42)
  * It would be great to have a first version of the tool comparison
    document published by the end of this year. However, the document
    will be updated going forward.  (glink, 19:34:35)
  * LINK:

    (glink, 19:40:43)
  * IDEA: merge the information on the Wiki into the Website and get rid
    of the wiki (reduce the places CHAOSS meets).  (glink, 19:57:25)
  * ACTION: Create comparison criteria for metrics tools
    (https://github.com/jasontclark/chaoss-product-comparison/blob/master/research.md#purpose
