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.

Ask HN: What are you using for public documentation these days?
A small Perl script <https://github.com/jmarshall/manconvert> that grinds a subset of man page nroff syntax directly into HTML. (That subset being “the constructs that are used in the man pages that it's used on”.)
Some of the styling could be improved (those section headings for one!), but IMHO it produces better results than other more general-purpose manpage to HTML converters: see e.g. <https://www.htslib.org/doc/samtools.html>.

Gojekyll – 20x faster Go port of jekyll
I think GitHub Pages only supports a whitelist of plugins, so you might have some more difficulties solving it well without any plugins. I use Netlify for my site, which does support arbitrary plugins.
One quick way to make it faster is to include that "_includes/nav.html" only in a nav.html, and then use an iframe to load that on every page, or something like that.
Anyway, I'm not the first to notice this it seems, although even "twice as fast" would still be quite slow: https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/issues/1323

Having the rules and mechanics easily accessible in a webpage/site.
If it can help, there was a commenter earlier who suggested trying out a Doc-style github page that you can easily fork. It also has its own built-in search. Comment here. Github page here.

Looking for advice: does any one use GitHub/GitClassroom to store and mange their course content?
So the basic idea is I use the Jekyll site generator (which is already built into GitHub pages, but you can also install locally), and this is the theme I use: https://just-the-docs.github.io/just-the-docs/
- Is legit to use Github pages for non-coding purposes?
- Keep your diagrams updated with continuous delivery

Open Source Like
That's certainly an option. Games like Liminal Horror and Into the Dungeon Revived host versions on GitHub. You can then render it to a GitHub.io page using something like Just the Docs.

Compiling findings to website

Atlassian Patch Critical Confluence Hardcoded Credentials Bug
The only people that like confluence have Stockholm syndrome. I'd argue that a wiki is the old people way of thinking. In most orgs a wiki is where data goes to die but some asshole keeps throwing data in there to appease some other asshole. I rather search slack, https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs, project boards in github, anything is better than confluence and I couldn't agree more that confluence search is the biggest piece of shit ever, it's worse than useless, it wastes your time.
