@Raynos: Glad you like it! (assuming you mean node-modules) We actually find ourselves starring a lot more stuff on Github now since it'll mean our search results will become better (that's actually how I found your xtend module).
@3rdEden Currently it adds a penalty to the module rank if the module hasn't been updated within a year. I think what you're talking about would be a better approach - will look into implementing something like that On Friday, September 20, 2013 11:43:15 PM UTC+2, 3rdEden wrote: > > Indeed, it shouldn't focus indication but a combination of all, open pull > requests, lots of issues and nearly no commits is a good indication that > the project is dead and should not be promoted actively.
