fixed typos, change key word proxy to dimension, add more explanations in Issue Resolution Duration for Filters

I am not sure about changing proxy to dimension. They are not synonyms.

Changing this term changes the narrative and meaning of the text (possibly in a good way).

Was there a discussion about this somewhere?

No, this is the place we start the discussion first. :)

"proxy" from my understanding is more like represented as “act on behalf of”, like Java Dynamic Proxy Classes or Proxy server.
But here Although code changes can be a **proxy** to the coding activity of a project, makes me confused somewhat.
If I changed it to dimension, it looks more clear that code change is a dimension of measuring the the coding activity of a project

I am not a native English speaker. I hope that I understand correctly on the these metrics, which are quite important and nice! 👍

No worries @eyehwan. It is a good discussion and edits are most certainly welcome.

Both terms work here but they mean different things.

Dimension may be the better word but I would like to get some other opinions on it because it does change the meaning of the text. I am not sure if it changes it in a substantial way, but if it does, we would need to send this metric back to review.

@sgoggins @foundjem - what do you think?

The Evolution working group thinks this line change to code-changes-lines, code-changes, change-requests-accepted, change-requests, and change-requests-declined should be reverted:

  Although code changes can be a proxy to the coding activity of a project,
  Although code changes can be a dimension to the coding activity of a project,

  Although code changes can be a dimension to the coding activity of a project,

During the July 7, 2021 Evolution working group meeting, we discussed these points at length. "Proxy" has a very specific meaning that clearly represents how people use many Evolution metrics as a "proxy for activity". This word will remain, and we welcome your other changes!! THANK YOU!!!

@sgoggins Thanks for the declarations! Then I will push another patch for the rest of fixes.

[eyehwan]

I have updated another patch, to revert dimension back to proxy.
