Dear Open Hub Users,

Beginning immediately, users can head over, register, get technical help and discuss issue pertinent to the Open Hub. Registered users can also subscribe to Open Hub announcements here.


On May 1, 2020, we will be freezing https://www.openhub.net/forums and users will not be able to create new discussions. If you have any questions and concerns, please email us at info@openhub.net

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.
