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.

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
There are a few other server implementations (polyjuice in Elixir https://gitlab.com/polyjuice/polyjuice_server; https://github.com/clecat/ocaml-matrix in OCaml; the abandoned mxhsd in Java) - but the most stable ones alternatives to Synapse right now are Dendrite (Go) and Conduit (Rust).
Matrix's API surface is big, and servers deliberately handle all the heavy lifting in order to make clients trivial to write, so writing servers is not trivial. But Dendrite & Conduit are both very usable and making good progress right now.
And yes, the APIs are all standardised (while also constantly evolving) as per https://spec.matrix.org :)

The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
tbh Matrix was pretty green 5 years ago, so you probably didn't miss much. Thanks for considering a slidge-matrix bridge. On the Matrix side, we already have https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost as our main Matrix<->XMPP bridge, but it could definitely be better, and the more interop between open protocols the better \o/ :)

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
Unfortunately XMPP<->Matrix end-to-end encryption is a contradiction in terms. You have to speak the same protocol from end-to-end, otherwise you'd have to break the end-to-end encryption to translate from one protocol to the other. The closest you could get would be to run the Matrix<->XMPP bridge clientside alongside your Matrix client... but at that point you might almost as well be running a multihead messenger that speaks both Matrix & XMPP.
In terms of adding Matrix to MUCs; i believe we're working on it in Bifrost, which is in active albeit slightly sporadic dev: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost.
