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.

'No Problem' Word Processor Poses a Problem for Former President Carter (1981)
I've found looking at commit counts is never very good for judging project activity, at least if they don't squash-merge all pulls. For example there can be pages of one liners
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk/?after=c8...
One pull as opposed to zero indeed may break the inactive barrier but probably good not to read too much into commit counts graphs.

The biggest blocker to LibreOffice adoption? LibreOffice
Better isn't just one dimension but I've repeatedly heard that OO is a damn dumpster fire for loading untrusted content: https://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html vs https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/
Them both being written in a memory unsafe language[1][2] isn't helping matters
Also, while digging up those links I noticed the last release of OO was in Dec 2023 which is a lot of time for all the components they bundle to acquire vulns. But at least they're consistent about it since the release before that was in Feb 2023

From License to Freedom: Embracing Open Source Forks Knowing What to Expect
Another prominent example is LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Fearing that the stewardship of OpenOffice might suffer under Oracle, the community forked the project to create LibreOffice, which has since become the more popular and actively developed office suite.

It's time to let go, Apache Software Foundation
> It looks like most of the recent commits are done by someone as mostly a way of learning and not for the sake of the project itself.
> https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/d2a7b3cc90e95392...
From that link:
> Most of the commits here seams to be mainly white space changes to random files.
I'm guessing is not "learning" but more of an attempt to game GitHub (e.g. rack up a lot of commits to an impressive-sounding project).

I am setting up my daughter's first PC. Please help
OpenOffice is a bit outdated and it's updates don't really update anything if you check the git commits. There is however FreeOffice and OpenOffice, both really good options that look almost the same as MS Office

Gimp's Colorize Function
As Gimp is open source, I already had a look in the source code but it's written in C, which is different enough from C++ or C# that I have a rather difficult time understanding it, at least in terms of project structure. I'm pretty sure I found the handling of the tool itself in gimpoperationcolorize.c but I don't know where to go from here.

Gimp 3 Beta Released
> Gotta be real, Gimp's not that far off from just one guy (https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/graphs/contributors)
GitHub only shows people with an email address linked to a GitHub account in that chart; the last time I checked it was 4 or 5 people working on it regularly, which is still a very small team (none are working on it full-time) so your point still stands (it's a point I've made myself a few times before when people compare GIMP to Photoshop or the like).
