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.
You need to instantiate a config.json (from the config.json.dist template), filled with 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.
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.
