Re: [CII-badges] Ranking criteria

Hello!

Thanks for inviting me to participate in this project.

At Selection Pressure, we are looking at ways to incorporate project risk measurements into one of our products.

The CII Census looks like a great start on this!

I'm wondering what your plans are moving forward, especially with regard to the Risk Index. I see from the Wheeler and Khakimov paper that a lot of research went into possible metrics, and that the initial Risk Index score is a reflection of that.

What sort of process do you anticipate using for including new features into that calculation, and scoring them?

Do you have a plan for assessing empirically to what extent that Risk Index correlates with software risk?

Thanks!

We encourage you to fork the project and suggest improvements with a pull request.

I do not see a mailing list listed on the cii-census GitHub page.
Is there one?
Or should general discussion about that project take place on the issue tracker?

Thanks,

I agree, please take a look at the census project.  The census project itself does quantitative measures, and on that site you'll also find a paper that points to other related work (you'll find that useful if you're trying to do scholarly work on the topic).
