It seems to me that there are a range of interesting possibilities for ranking projects that are being overlooked. The criteria for interesting
here is (a) useful (b) showing off data that ohloh has that isn't widely known.
My suggestions for how to order projects include:
number of committers in the last month;
number of new committers in the last month
combined kudos of committers
average kudos of committers
increase in kudos of committers in
the last month
oldest projects
newest projects
number of lifetime committers
completeness of ohloh entry and newness (i.e. list only projects with complete ohloh entries, by newness, encouraging developers to fully complete their projects ohloh entry)
While many of these look expensive to calculate (and are), they could easily be cached for hours or days, since these aren't (or shouldn't be) changing very fast.
