Dashboard of activity from Community Groups

This tool collects data from various sources (W3C API, Github API, screen-scraping of W3C mailing lists archives, RSS feeds, wikis) to build a picture of the activity level in W3C Community Groups.

Data collection

You need to instantiate a config.json (from the config.json.dist template), filled with a W3C API key and a Github API key.

Once that done, run: node monitor.js

It will run for a while to collect data across all the sources. The data is collected in one-file-per-CG in the data directory.

Alternatively, you can update the data for specific groups with node monitor.js [groupid1] [groupid2] where groupid1 is a the id of the group in the W3C API.

Data processing

Once the data is collected per the above, run node prepare-data.js

It will generate a report.json file with the data needed for the dashboard.

The tool also generate the activity charts used in Community Group homepages.
