Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Are there any studies demonstrating a benefit of Dvorak over Qwerty for other languages?
The main Dvorak layout has been adapted for other languages: there are German, Spanish, Nordic and other variants with accents and perhaps some letter swap. Anecdotally, some people seem okay with that. Notably, this repo has English, Czech and other locales for Dvorak and according to the author, it's sufficient based on running the numbers for hand alternation and such metrics.

So uncivilized
There are at least three alternatives off the top of my head: CShack, UCW (the website is dead, but the layout is included in Linux distros) or some international layout such as EurKEY (although it lacks combined letters with caron), and then customized versions of Dvorak or Colemak... and yes, I know a couple of people that use Compose.

Why are there no spanish layouts?
I'm not convinced that it matters in practice. If anything, I'd focus on convenient access to special symbols (like ULKL).

Unsatisfied with colemak qix, should I switch to something else?
No problem, see this discussion on the Engram forums for more ideas on Q and Z placement: there are non-magical solutions such as combos, hold-taps, etc. In particular, this layout has been applied successfully to an even smaller 26+6 keyboard, as a precedent.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
I've considered both the earlier version of APT, as well as Engram, with these layouts putting punctuation on the center index columns.

Just ordered 3x keyboards! Sofle Choc, Charybdis, and the new v2 Dilemma! Never had a split before and want to see what works for me!
On leaving QWERTY, you might also consider Arno's Engram 2.0 layout, which places all punctuation in the central columns so that your 8 touch typing fingers go straight up and down, effectively staying in their columns all the time. I've used Engram exclusively since the past 2 years (after 6 months of BEAKL-15, 16 years of Dvorak, and 6 years of QWERTY) and I've written about my experience with it here. Moreover, if you prefer standard shifted pairs (e.g. so quotes don't shift into parentheses), I've created a programmer-friendly variant called the "Engrammer" layout that helps maintain cross-proficiency with standard keyboards.

Engram[mer] - Arno's Engram layout for programmers
Specifically, the main distinction between this layout and Arno's Engram, is that this layout retains standard shifting (e.g. Shift-Quote produces DoubleQuote rather than OpenParenthesis) in order to lower the cognitive barrier when having to use standard or non-programmable keyboards. This discussion elaborates further:

Why are there no spanish layouts?
I've already talked with the dev to try to create a spanish variant of Engram, but since this is a subreddit of some keyboard layouts nerds like me who have some skills in creating layouts, I ask YOU if you could help create the perfect spanish layout. It's not easy, maybe too complex right now and there needs to be some adjustment... but come on, we NEED a spanish layout! 500 million of potential native writers will thank you for that in the long therm.
