New Contributors

Definition​

New Contributors is a metric defined by the CHAOSS community. For a detailed definition of this metric, please refer to CHAOSS Metrics - New Contributors.

This metric helps identify how many contributors are making their first contribution to a given project and information about them.

An increase or decline in new contributors can be an early indicator of project health. Understanding the behavior and barriers of new community members requires knowing who they are, and a healthy project should have a steady stream of new contributors.
