This document discusses improving the feature development process for the open-source PyQtGraph library. It first provides background on PyQtGraph and open-source development practices. It then analyzes PyQtGraph's current process through case studies and identifies areas for improvement, such as needing a collaboration tool to better coordinate contributions. The document proposes extending the "Pirate Metrics" framework to better measure community interactions during feature development. The conclusions note this study could help developers, maintainers, and users better understand open-source processes.
