Many projects are said to be extremely important for any industry. But how can we assess their real significance? Google has developed a special rating for evaluating open source projects - just according to the degree of importance to the industry.
The rating was created for a reason - it is proposed to be used to highlight the most important projects on which development depends. It is for these projects that you need to allocate maximum resources for maintenance, development and security. The rating, by design, will be used by organizations that can provide the necessary resources to projects.
To compile this project, a special formula and indicator are proposed - the level of criticality (Criticality Score). By the way, the estimation algorithm was proposed by the famous developer Rob Pike, who was at the origins of Unix, Plan 9, Inferno and UTF-8. This algorithm takes into account 10 different factors, which serve to calculate the final level of importance. The evaluation range is from 0 (the most non-critical projects) to 1 (the most critical and important).
The formula uses the following weighting factors:
- Number of dependent projects (key parameter, weight 2).
- Number of developers involved (key parameter, weight 2).
- Project lifetime (1).
- Last update time (-1).
- Number of organizations supporting the project (1).
- Average number of changes per year (1).
- The number of comments when discussing problems (1).
- Number of releases per year (0.5).
- The number of error messages closed and updated in the last 90 days (0.5).
If necessary, you can add your own criteria, suitable for different areas and industries. In addition, if the weightings of the coefficients are not suitable for some reason, they can be changed. As for the rating itself, it is calculated by a special utility available on GitHub .
Mission critical teams will have the opportunity to ask the OpenSSF (Open Source Security Foundation) for help. It, with the help of its members, provides resources, advisory support, finance or even infrastructure.
As for the current ranking, here is a table showing the most important projects written in different programming languages.
The sign is huge, don't say you weren't warned
