Description

A very naive and simplistic thing, is to use number of stargazers as a proxy for impact.

There are 313 public repos in @UCL, ordered by stars

  • STIR
  • PETPVC
  • TLO
  • LatBo.jl

Ditto for @UCL-ARC (119 public):

  • python-tooling
  • SWC shell split window
  • householder

Clearly, our project should refine this (the Turning folks have a "health factor", perhaps we will invent an "impact factor"). But if we have eight (ish) most impactful projects, how should we showcase them?

Definition of done

  • Decided if/how to showcase some impactful projects
  • Add a "featured projects" page to the OSPO website.
