As the mission statement describes, the Linux Foundation project CHAOSS (Community Health Analytics Open Source Software) aims to "produce integrated, open source software for analyzing software development", and "establish implementation-agnostic metrics for measuring community activity, contributions, and health".
To achieve this goal, our community members are defining which key metrics accurately evaluate the overall health of open-source projects. These metrics will serve as the measurements monitored by the product(s) developed by the CHAOSS community. In addition to this work, the following research provides a comparative analysis of the existing tools and/or production sites that currently provide health-related metrics for open-source projects using dashboard views.
