   That is good idea. I have noted and will add to roadmap. Score will be calculated differently for different categories of software. Like for Desktop apps and SAAS projects, metrics will be different. Will have to think through this.

    2 questions: 1) When are you planning to launch in India? 2) Have you thought about launching your own Linux distro optimized for Framework? You could upgrade Linux desktop experience. That would be awesome.

    Thanks! That is a good idea, I could create a metric from recent commits, releases, open issues, open PRs. I will also add these details to each projects own page.
