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.

First DIY Drone Questions!
Since you mentioned programming, one other thing you should consider is the firmware. FPV drones typically run the betaflight firmware. betaflight is fairly mature, feature-rich and is aimed at racers and freestyle pilots. If you’re looking more to tinker with programing, you could start with this instead of a more standard flight controller: https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight

Book on programming my own autopilot
I have similar aspirations. No books, but if you want an example of someone who’s done that before, check out drhemflight. It’s not fully autonomous, but it’s a modular flight stabilizer running on teensy, which uses arduino IDE
- Does anyone know about a good avionics related open source project for learning purposes?

Seeking Advice and Help in Creating a Custom Flight Controller for My Mini Programmable Drone
There's several flight control systems on Github, such as Ardupilot, for example. I wouldn't undertake this without checking out what's already out there, all the way down to simple stabilization systems.

Ask HN: Best programmable drone / open source OS?
To add to this, most of the time one doesn't need to hack on the drone firmware itself. Just configuring/hacking the mission planner alone would go a long way: https://ardupilot.org/planner/
But if you're interested in more readable codebases without too much legacy headaches:
https://github.com/BossHobby/QUICKSILVER (for indoor drones mostly)
And for even less functionality but a good learning tool kind of codebase:

- Does anyone have all the math required for creating a stabilization program for a rocket?

What did you wish you knew before making your own drone from scratch?
dRehmFlight is about the simplest a flight controller can get (in terms of code readability).

Inverted pendulum on a racing drone (power loop attempted)
This is actually my own flight controller code running on a teensy 4.0 microcontroller, coded in arduino: https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight
