When evaluating projects for business projects, I'm going to look at github stars as a rough indicator of popularity and community. The larger the number of stars, the less likely the project will be abandoned, and the more likely it will be supported in some way. The immediate next thing I look at is the date of the last commit and the issues. How recent were the changes, how responsive are they to issues, how long do PRs hang around without comment? Then I start looking at documentation and potentially the code to see if this would fit my need.
