The GitHub Arctic Code Vault program stored all active repositories and
inactive repositories with more than 250 stars. It also looks like the
visibility of a repository and it's potential to be trending on GitHub has
a healthy relationship with the number of people that have starred these
repositories.
Now a lot of people don't care about this stuff, and frankly I don't think
it's the most important thing to discuss, but I do feel that for something
that takes a second of your time, it could be a valuable endeavour for us
to at least consciously star our main repositories, so that it could
increase its visibility, and even build an initial subconscious rapport
with anyone who visits our code on GitHub. Our goal is to provide
translators and language tools for languages that often get overlooked by
mainstream NLP, and visibility could definitely help us in this regard.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to mention this, in fact I even remember
discussions about this last year. I just noticed that our apertium/apertium
repository has only 24 stars and I just feel like we can do a lot better
than that. I don't even mind considering politely asking people who come
across our software to star the repo and share it or something.
These are just my personal views and I'm happy to be corrected :)
