What is this?

A scratchpad for a number of measures of software libraries focussing on areas that will guide users to make more informed decisions about whether to include a library within their own project.

See librariesio/libraries.io#1486 for more information and https://gist.github.com/BenJam/9e1d6276efabced6e3973137e6993b01 for a list of questions we are building these measures from. Measures here are in addition to those already gathered: https://docs.libraries.io/overview#sourcerank

Distribution

• last release
• av. time between releases
• av. size of release: #commits/size of diff

What is in this release?

In this release you will find data about software distributed and/or crafted publicly on the Internet. You will find information about its development, its distribution and its relationship with other software included as a dependency. You will not find any information about the individuals who create and maintain these projects.

This dataset contains seven files:

Projects

A project is a piece of software available on any one of the 33 package managers supported by Libraries.io.

Versions

A Libraries.io version is an immutable published version of a Project from a package manager. Not all package managers have a concept of publishing versions, often relying directly on tags/branches from a revision control tool.

Themes/Questions

There are a number of key themes here that we need to look at. Within each I have posed a number of questions that might be of interest to a developer or maintainer.

Code

• What scale is this project? - Looking at things like novel LoC, #dependencies and LoC in dependencies perhaps.
