ASF Board Report Wizard - how are change percentages calculated?
On my project (geode.apache.org), some of this quarter's change percentages are way off, if they're comparing to the previous quarter. These percentages should be near zero, yes?
Today’s stats:
- 322 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-13% decrease)
- 321 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-12% decrease)
Previous quarter:
- 324 PRs opened on GitHub
- 325 PRs closed on GitHub
Or am I misunderstanding how the percentages are figured?

You're free to do as you see fit, the numbers are only there as a helper
for "the big picture", not necessarily something to get too attached to.
The report wizard feeds off our kibble demo instance, found at
demo.kibble.apache.org - you can familiarize yourself with that as well,
and find data from within whatever time-frame you deem is most correct.

Thanks, Daniel.
Based on my understanding of your explanation, I'll choose to trust the raw
numbers and calculate the percentages based on those numbers.
Do you concur?
BR,
Dave

A quarter in this scenario is defined as "the 3 months preceding this
day", as projects typically report every 3 months on a somewhat
arbitrary day (3rd wednesday), and some projects are asked to report
again the following month.
Thus, it's highly likely that the reports were not made _exactly_ 3
months apart (usually there can be up to a weeks worth of hidden extra
data due to the 3rd wednesday rule), and therefore differ a bit in the
numbers that are used.
For instance, one report could be filed on March 10th, and the next on
June 17th, leaving the time between 10th and 17th to skew the stats.
HTH.
