Working on a couple of packages last week, it occurred to me that there's no easy/programmatic way for us as an org to render visible to ourselves and people outside (stakeholders) those contributions to open source which happen outside the org, as many inevitably will.
GitHub already has great visualisations for contributions per user, but this doesn't aggregate to an org level and isn't really made for external consumption.
It might be nice to build a few small R functions that poll the github api, wrangle the data, and produce some plots, all wrapped in a flexdashboard (without shiny runtime).
This function could then run as a CRON job every couple of days or so, and output results to a public facing website or something.
This might also be useful for a lot of other people, and address the whole visibility/attribution issue of contributions to existing FOSS, which is often more important and productive than adding your own (soon-to-be-abandoned) project.
This might be implemented in rstats, but it would generalise over all open source and research compendia by just querying the github api.
