Open Stack

Stefano, it seems like we're getting a proliferation of "stats and analysis" efforts, including Mirantis's newly launched http://www.stackalytics.com/. Would you be up for spearheading a new OpenStack "program" to coordinate these various efforts? Perhaps rather than struggling with the same data problems in each effort (missing key repos, off-site discussion threads, etc), we could focus on getting a clean set of data, and then letting folks parse and visualize it in unique ways.
