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.

Open Source Tax Software
The french initiative started in 2013 is still alive (last commit a few days ago), and passes the gov test suite (they keep in touch with our version of the IRS): https://github.com/openfisca/openfisca-france
The way we got this is interestingly twisted.
French citizens requested the software used by the administration, and they managed to get it!
But, it's was written in Mlang is a proprietary language created by the french administration in the 90: https://github.com/MLanguage/mlang.
Someone then decided to create an OCaml compiler that takes mlang and emits python: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.07966
As a result, we got we got open fisca. I know believe there are other techs in the mix...

They have open sourced the algorithm they use to compute taxes here: https://gitlab.adullact.net/dgfip/ir-calcul which used a purpose made programming language https://github.com/MLanguage/mlang

It's important to note that this isn't universal across the entire legal system. Some subsets like France's tax system are defined in code, and there's some efforts to create more general systems as computational law advances as a field.

`policy_current_law.json` is really interesting:
https://github.com/PSLmodels/Tax-Calculator/blob/master/taxc...
Looks like the data in there goes back to 2013/2014. I'd love to see older historical policy data.
