The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Would having software fix gerrymandering?
Compactness: Additionally, we generally wish for districts to be as compact as possible. However, what defines compactness? There are so many mathematically different methods one can use to define this, including (but not limited to) the ratio of a district's land area to its convex hull, the average distance from a voter to the district's centroid (I believe used by Brian Olson's redistricting code, which is what was featured by FiveThirtyEight in their Atlas of Redistricting), and methods that aren't exactly defined by a global metric but are instead realized through local metrics applied iteratively (e.g. weighted k-means, such as the version proposed by Guest et al. 2019).
