Dashboard review
We reviewed the dashboard to prioritise the work in February.

I've been collecting those dashboard metrics for a while, and while I don't have pretty graphs to show you yet, I do have this fancy table:
| date | open | icebox | backlog | next | doing | closed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-07-01 | 125 | 0 | 26 | 13 | 7 | 2075 |
| 2020-11-18 | 1 | 84 | 32 | 5 | 4 | 2119 |
| 2020-12-02 | 0 | 92 | 20 | 9 | 8 | 2130 |
| 2021-01-19 | 0 | 91 | 20 | 12 | 10 | 2165 |
| 2021-02-02 | 0 | 96 | 18 | 10 | 7 | 2182 |
Some observations:
- the "Icebox" keeps piling up
- we are closing tens and tens of tickets (about 20-30 a month)
- we are getting better at keeping Backlog/Next/Doing small
- triage is working: the "Open" queue is generally empty after the meeting
As usual, some of those stats are available in the main Grafana dashboard. Head to https://grafana.torproject.org/, change the time period to 30 days, and wait a while for results to render.
