Contribution Report
Open source projects often struggle to notice when a non-committer is plugging away and deserves to be a committer. This is an attempt to create a report that helps provide the committers with more information to make that decision. It may provide useful outside of open-source. It lists the reports, attachments and comments that each user supplied to the release.
Release History
Version 1.3 was released on the 4th of February 2009. It fixes a bug reported twice on this page:
- JOUT-47 - Error when project has no versions yet
Version 1.2 was released on the 8th of January 2009. It included a security bugfix and an enhancement:
- JOUT-49 - Report is not security aware
- JOUT-46 - Add a column of Assigned Issues
It is recommended that users move to version 1.2 due to the security bugfix.
Version 1.1 was released on 5th of November 2008. It included the following two enhancements:
- JOUT-44 - Configuration option to allow only open/closed issues to be seen.
- JOUT-11 - Put totals at the bottom of the page.
Version 1.0 was released on 31st of May 2007.
Installing
Install the report by downloading the latest plugin jar, place it in your $JIRA/WEB-INF/lib/ and giving your JIRA a restart. It will automatically be available in the Reports section of your JIRA's Browse Project page.

(does it also support projects which do not make use of Versions / Releases?) It would be great to be able to find out which attachments a particular user has uploaded etc.

I'll work on screenshots - in the meantime you can try out a live demo on the Apache issue tracker. For example this project:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS
It's v1.0, so doesn't have the two new features.

Initially out project had no versions at all, and the Contribution Report link only showed "Cancel".
Error message was "Version: Could not find any values for field 'Version'."
I had to create a dummy version at the project level, and then it let me continue with the plugin. (Some project reports take quite a while to generate, but then it works).
thanks,
Paul
btw is there a way of obtaining filesize info too? eg on a per user basis etc?

The Attachment class does have the filesize. I'm not sure there's much value in showing the combined bytes of attachments - one screenshot would mess up the data etc.

Ahh for the attachment size, it would be very useful in various ways. (Sometimes a contributor would represent a category of some sort, and also for people, it would be great to be able to find out which "contributors" are utilising how many megabytes of space.)
Currently, there is a way to obtain attachment size at the overall project level, (since all attachments are created inside 1 folder called the name of the project key), but where you have different "contributors" using the same project/key, its hard to work out.
If there was a way to be able to include the bytesize/mb etc (optionally) that would be very handy I think.

Paul

hi, i had a look at the plugin in action on this page: http://issues.apache.org...hi,
i had a look at the plugin in action on this page: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS. thanks for making your plugin available. it is a brilliant idea. i am considering using it to assess developer contributions on our 25-member project.
the thing is though: there is 1 project lead who is configured in jira as the main issue "reporter". the project lead delegates/assigns issues to the 24 developers on the team. the developers are therefore the "assignees". in our organization, developers do the actual work involved in resolving the issue/completing the tasks. developers don't "report" issues/tasks in our organization.
given the following scenario:
there are 24 issues/tasks that need to be completed. in jira, the project lead (user name, "plead") assigns 1 each of the 24 tasks to each of the 24 developers.
my questions are:
1. will the contribution report plugin show "24" in the "Reported Issues" column for "plead" (the reporter) in the "User" column?
2. will the contribution report plugin show "0" in the "Reported Issues" column for the 24 developers (who are jira "assignees") in the "User" column?
thanks in advance for your reply.
many thanks,
sun-certified

Feels like the solution would be to have an Assigned Issues column. Shouldn't hurt as I loop through all issues in the version and pulling out another data-field won't hurt performance notably:

If you run a publicly facing JIRA, with private projects or security schemes, then I urge you to upgrade. The actual information that can leak is the issue keys, the names of the people working on the project and whether they have created attachments or made comments. *

I'm using v1.2 with JIRA 3.13.2-#335, but I'm getting this msg:
Report: Contribution Report
Description:
Report displaying the contributions to a release.
Version: Could not find any values for field 'Version'.
Issue Status: All
Which Issue Status to show
So I guess I have to use versions in my project in order to use this report? We're primarily interested in the ability to see how many comments users have submitted.
Thanks,
David

We just deployed JIRA about a month ago and are still learning a lot about it as we go. Hopefully I can dig into it more and write a few plug-ins to benefit the community just like you.
Thanks again,
