I think it's more scalable than Jive. We use it for our community of 100K+ users. Drupal is awesome software. I think it’s more scalable than Jive. We use it for our community of 100K+ users.

So I am looking into to how much it would cost to update Drupal with reputation, participation metrics that are more visible. Will probably have to do some sort of google analytics plugin I suppose. Already planning on prizes for top contributors... yes I have looked at Jive as I am friends w/ Dawn Foster but my team really wants an open source tool to create an open Source community.

When you are working in a community environment metrics can get much more granular when looking at -- as you mentioned -- conversational starters, downloads, etc. and then you can also measure new profile creations, friend requests, profile views, etc. I think Jive has this functionality. Or, you can always use Google Analytics. The cool thing is that once your community is established, you can then identify the top users of the community (based on the metrics above) and create loyalty/rewards type programs; or even better, invite these uses to participate in ongoing feedback sessions. yes, you are absolutely right.

And there is much discussion about open participation metrics ala jive software and reputation style points. And I'm also doing a Open Source Community site - so code contributions, downloads, and software implementations matter as well. I guess that does lead into "value" metrics too.

Well, some of the metrics were handed down from senior management (ie. the standard web metrics like visits, pv’s, pv’s/visitor, time spent on blog). But we realized that there is much more value in measuring engagement such as number of comments, RSS subscribers and external blog mentions. Ideally, if I had it my way, I would like to measure the “value” of the conversations; and whether or not those conversations were helping drive future product innovation. Michael Hi Silona,
