If you want measure success you need to quantify and measure that is for sure!
>>> Measurement of success is great, but the definition of "success" is very broad. This is a form of output. In some social ventures success can be measured as social impact. From a technical side in Fedora, I believe this measurement is easier and can be measured by the innovations applied to every new release. From the non-technical aspect, it is a little more difficult to measure "success" That is why this is a good discussion of how we can measure this side of our "success".

The right way to do things like that in fedora, would be a new "fedora
statistics group" which could be a place for all people who like to gather
data from fas, love to quantify and for people who want to interpret such
things - the benefit, it keeps the "deal with us own" in this group. Away from
the groups who want to be productive and do not wan't wasting time with such
things (like writing scripts which will have no direct impact to the release
itself)
How sounds that?
>>> A fedora statistics group would be good, but it is only the start. We need to know from the start what statistics/metrics/data we would like to produce and for what reasons we are producing these measures.
