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.
