 A list of InnerSource projects should not be considered a static resource, but an exciting place to discover and explore new and active projects, just like a news page listing the most interesting topics of the day first. Thus it is beneficial when the order of the projects is regularly updated and changes according to the project's popularity and activity.

 The repository activity score is a numeric value that represents the (GitHub) activity of an InnerSource project. It is derived automatically from repository statistics like GitHub stars, watches, and forks and may be enriched with KPIs from other tools or manual evaluations.
 
 In addition, it considers activity parameters like last update and creation date of the repo to give young projects with a lot of traction a boost.

+Projects with contributing guidelines, active participation stats, and issues (public backlog) receive a higher ranking as well.
 
 All of this can be fetched and calculated automatically using the result set of the [GitHub search API](https://developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-repositories) and [GitHub statistics API](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/statistics/). Other code versioning systems like BitBucket, Gitlab, Gerrit can be integrated as well if a similar API is available.

-A crawler that regularly searches all InnerSource repositories (e.g. tagged with a certain topic in GitHub) can be a helpful addition as well.
