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.

Is JPEG 2000 a preservation risk? (2013)

JPEG 2000 is a niche codec, but in the niches that it occupies it is the gold standard, even after 20 years:

Viral Memes: Vectorized and Free
I guess this is a good place to plug a project I worked on, https://github.com/rben01/collagen . It lets you compose raster images and SVG shapes (including text) into another SVG, without re-encoding anything into a raster image. It's all just SVG. (Raster images are included via data: urls.)
I bring it up here because it's flip side of TFA. Instead of vectorizing memes, you can just take any old image you have, or a link to an image, and stick it in an SVG with some text on top, without actually having to write the SVG by hand. So an input like [this](https://gist.github.com/rben01/c0f51d8481c3ba8bd0ac108ac0b5a...) produces an output like [this](https://gist.github.com/rben01/23d01aa2668acc64cf4cffa815cb9...) (YMMV whether a linked image works in an SVG; I think in secure contexts it doesn't, but if you just copy paste the SVG into JSFiddle it should work).
Much easier than crafting memes by hand.

What’s the best lossless image format?
I guess this would be a good time to plug a small project I worked on: https://github.com/rben01/collagen . I got tired of seeing how crappy text looked when placed on a JPEG (due to the compression artifacts) and how large some PNGs were because they had a small JPEG-like area, so I made a little CLI program that solves that problem. Rather than settle on any particular image format, it allows the user to provide a collection of inputs -- images (in any format your browser supports), SVGs, shapes, text -- and bundles them into a single SVG file (it base64 encodes the images). So if you want to scale a PNG and place it on top of a JPG, you... just do that, with SVG transforms and whatnot. It produces a single file and is a lot easier than writing out the SVG yourself, and is nearly as easy as opening up a tailor-made mage editor and doing it there. And it's really, truly lossless, as it doesn't touch any of the input data.

Pablo is a small, open-source JavaScript library for SVG
I’ve been working on a project that makes creating SVGs — with all assets embedded — as simple as possible. https://github.com/rben01/collagen
What are some alternatives?
openjpeg - Official repository of the OpenJPEG project
qoi - The “Quite OK Image Format” for fast, lossless image compression
libjxl - JPEG XL image format reference implementation
neatvnc - A liberally licensed VNC server library with a clean interface
jasper - Official Repository for the JasPer Image Coding Toolkit
pablo - Pablo is a lightweight, expressive JavaScript SVG library. Pablo creates interactive drawings with SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), giving access to all of SVG's granularity and power.
