Idea: Contribution categories in Kibble

[Daniel Gruno <hu...@apache.org>]

Hi folks,
I had a late night idea (based on a tweet from Shane) that I think will 
be great, and so I've started working on it a bit: (code) Contributions 
by contribution type. The basic idea would be to start by looking for 
commits based on the type of files changed, and sort it into categories 
such as code development, documentation, graphic design, road-mapping 
(if I can figure that one out :p), and then visualize how contributions 
have been made based on which category they fall into. This could later 
be coupled with tags on issues/prs and so forth, to create some 
visibility into the various ways of contributing to FLOSS.

WDYT?

With regards,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel

Good idea especially with the discussions I've seen on recognition of 
non coding contributions. Here at least we are trying to find and 
identify them.

Thanks
Sharan
