Fun fact #2:
In the top 9 most awesome Open Source projects in the world 6 out of 9 are ruby projects. Linux or Apache projects are not in the lists. Yep, seems about right... (I am sarcastic of course)
Plus, but it may only be me, rating open source projects by "awesomeness" is a gross misunderstanding of the nature of Open Source and the contribution that everybody can bring into this world.
- tzs 15y ago> In the top 9 most awesome Open Source projects in the world 6 out of 9 are ruby projects Why did you pick the top 9?
- vramosp 15y agoWe didn't pick them, it's the result of the sum of its contributors' DevScore. And we calculate the DevScore taking into account your contributions, the reputation of your projects and the reputation of the people you work with.
- tzs 15y agoI'm sorry, my question was ambiguous. I'm not asking how the list was generated. I'm asking how the person my comment was in reply to, who criticized it as being too ruby heavy, decided to base his criticism on the top 9 elements of the top 10 list instead of basing it on all 10. The natural sample would have been all 10 items in the top 10. Cutting it off at the rather weird 9, especially considering that the 10th is not a ruby item, gives the appearance that he massaged the data to support his position.
- pauldino 15y agoThe screen grab in the blog post only shows the top 9.
