86863. Stars on github
8787~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8888
89- Unfortunately, when evaluating a project, a disproportionate amount of
90- people look at the github stars as a method of evaluation on how popular a
91- project is and if they don't see many stars they discard the idea of using
92- it.
93-
94- OpenWISP is composed of many modules and for that reason we don't have a
95- single super popular github repository with thousands of stars, but when
96- new users and developers look at `our github organization page
97- <https://github.com/openwisp> `_ they may not get this at first glance and
98- they will start looking for the numbers of stars.
99-
100- Yes, we know it sounds silly, but since it doesn't cost you anything, it
101- would be really useful if you could **take a look at our projects on
102- github ** and **star the ones you find most interesting **.
89+ When evaluating open source projects, many people rely heavily on GitHub
90+ stars as a proxy for popularity, maturity, and community adoption. In
91+ practice, this often becomes a deciding factor in whether a project is
92+ even considered.
93+
94+ OpenWISP is intentionally modular and composed of multiple repositories.
95+ As a result, there is no single repository with an exceptionally high star
96+ count. New users and potential contributors browsing `our GitHub
97+ repositories
98+ <https://github.com/orgs/openwisp/repositories?q=visibility%3Apublic+fork%3Afalse+archived%3Afalse+sort%3Astars> `_
99+ may not immediately recognize this and may judge individual modules in
100+ isolation, based solely on their star count.
101+
102+ While this metric is imperfect, it does influence perception and adoption.
103+ For this reason, and at no cost to you, we kindly ask you to `review our
104+ projects on GitHub
105+ <https://github.com/orgs/openwisp/repositories?q=visibility%3Apublic+fork%3Afalse+archived%3Afalse+sort%3Astars> `_
106+ and **star the repositories you actively use, contribute to or find
107+ valuable **. This small gesture helps increase visibility, lowers the
108+ barrier for new adopters, and supports the long term growth of the
109+ OpenWISP ecosystem.
