What are the definitions of the different terms in Cauldron?

- Contributors
- Users
- Observers
Hey, thank you for posting in the forum! I will try to clarify your question:
- People: I don’t remember having this concept in Cauldron, but I think it may refer to the set of all the other concepts you’ve named.
- Submitters: They are those people who have contributed to a project by opening an issue or a PR / MR.
- Authors: They are those people who have contributed to a project generating commits.
- Maintainers: It is the name we used to give to what is currently known as Submitters (reviews).
- Contributors: It is the name that we used to give to what is currently known as Authors.
- Users: It is the name we used to give to what is now known Attendees (Meetup).
- Observers: It is the name we used to give to what is currently known as Submitters (issues).

Thank you very much.
I think we need more standard definitions, also in CHAOSS.
I’ve posted an issue in the CHAOSS Common WG: Names and definitions of people -- standardize language in metrics · Issue #113 · chaoss/wg-common · GitHub
