Introduction

Welcome to the NEAR Ecosystem Insights Dashboard! Stay updated on the latest developments in the NEAR community. In this dashboard, you'll find three graphs that provide a comprehensive look at the contributions made by different types of contributors on a daily basis, as well as an overall view of contributions made by all contributors over time. Discover the growth and impact of the NEAR community through this interactive visualization, and gain valuable insights into the building of the project on NEAR.

Why are these metrics important?

The metrics displayed in this dashboard are crucial indicators of the health and growth of the NEAR ecosystem. The daily contributions made by different types of contributors provide a real-time view of the level of engagement and involvement in the community. This information helps us understand the distribution of contributions and identify any potential areas for improvement. The overall view of contributions made by all contributors over time highlights the growth and impact of the NEAR community and demonstrates its ability to attract and retain a diverse group of contributors. These metrics are important in assessing the overall health of the NEAR ecosystem, as they give us a comprehensive understanding of the community's growth and vitality. They help us make informed decisions about the future direction and development of the NEAR project and its associated projects.

Daily Github Contributors by Contributor Type: This graph displays the number of daily contributors, grouped by their type of contribution, such as code, documentation, design, etc.
Daily Github Contributions by Contributor Type: This graph shows the total number of daily contributions made by each type of contributor.
Github Contributors by Contributions and Months Contributing: This graph displays the total number of contributors, grouped by the number of contributions they have made and the number of months they have been contributing. This provides a comprehensive view of the level of involvement and commitment of contributors to the NEAR ecosystem.

Analysis:

The graphs in this dashboard reveal a consistent growth in the number of active developers contributing to the NEAR codebase since the start of 2020. On average, 100-120 active contributors make 300-700 contributions each week. This indicates a strong and dedicated community of developers who are actively working on improving and expanding the NEAR ecosystem. An interesting trend is the presence of 40 contributors who have been active for over 20 weeks and have made over 200 contributions. These contributors represent a core group of dedicated individuals who have made a significant impact on the development of the NEAR project. Their continued involvement and commitment is a positive signs for the future of the NEAR ecosystem. It's also worth noting the large number of contributors who have made between 10 and 100 contributions but have been active for less than a year. This suggests a growing community of developers who are new to the NEAR ecosystem and are making contributions but may require more support and engagement to retain their involvement. These metrics highlight the importance of providing resources and opportunities for all contributors, especially those who are new to the project.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the NEAR Ecosystem Insights Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of the contributions and involvement of different types of contributors to the NEAR codebase. The consistent growth in the number of active developers and the presence of a dedicated core group of contributors who have made a significant impact on the project are positive indicators for the future of the NEAR ecosystem. However, the large number of contributors who have made a limited number of contributions but have been active for less than a year suggest the need for further support and engagement from the community. By understanding these metrics, we can make informed decisions about the future direction and development of the NEAR project and ensure its continued growth and success.
