+Among others, yes. It depends on several things.
+
+But let me continue in a different way then. For each major step:
+ * how could I get/gather/query those values? I guess for most of
+these, we'd need to setup a service to check and publish these, but to
+start easy, what would be already available?
+ * what useful metrics are missing (and same question as above)?
+ * what metrics are useless (and why)?
+
+For instance, using a HTTP GET to query, let me focus on these:
+ * buildsystem: what values could I get already?
+ * source packages: where could I get the number of packages, the size
+of the whole thing? orphan status will come out maintdb which is
+mostly ready; open bugs would come from Bugzilla or a proxy service;
+what about rpmlint reports?
+ * compiled packages: where/how could I get repository size, number of
+packages? hdlist status? signatures status? dependencies?
+
+That would be a start, both to push some live data into this prototype
+(querying all values every two hours for instance, and keeping track
+of them) and to start thinking of setting up additional
+services/checks.
