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.

The T-34/2 keyboard layout
This makes it hard to find alt layouts that feel comfortable with Vim. I've tried RSTHD, BEAKL 15, ISRT, and a couple failed attempts at designing my own layout with xsznix's optimizer. Maybe I am just picky. I currently use Dvorak, which has nice j k positions, but of course it is an old layout that is beat in many metrics by more recent layouts.

what is the best way to lay out the keyboard keys?
There are also tools to optimise the layout based on the text & rules you like, for example: https://github.com/xsznix/keygen.

Best keyboard layout analyzer from corpus (I bulid my own.)?
In addition to KLA, check out the ADNW Optimising keyboard layouts program (C++). If you're into Rust, look at the RSTHD keygen. Note that they all have their own peculiarities/biases and none of them should be used blindly. Understand what their various e.g. penalties are and tweak their code/configs to better match your personal needs and corpus.

Designing a keyboard layout to use certain finger(s) less
I forked xsznix/keygen (origin of RSTHD layout), tweaked it with my own weightings as well as generally playing around with the code a bit, and here’s what came out:
- Working on an optimizer, and this layout came out

Auto-generated keyboard layouts: Do they exist? Would they be good?
It's computationally intensive task and it takes time to optimize layout, people spend weeks on full optimizations, hours and days in more simple cases. There are several optimizers like carpalx, opt, keygen etc.

What is the most efficient keyboard layout?
For instance the RSTHD creater has created a rust program that optimizes a layout using efforts for certain keys: https://github.com/xsznix/keygen There are other similar programs out there as well.

Is there a program, or website to calculate an optimal layout given input parameters?

I put the Full Maks Minimo layout onto my 5x15 ortholinear with some slight modifications, would love to hear your thoughts.
if you can extract the text from those emails and put it in a single file what you can then do, download genkey, (docs can be found here, and load that file in to do analysis. If you wanna try handmade swaps without generation, you can use this little thing I made which lets you drag and drop to swap and rightclick to disable keys which can give you some immediate feedback on the changes you make.

Best keyboard layout analyzer from corpus (I bulid my own.)?
genkey is usually what's used, you can also use your own corpus with it. a200 is also pretty useful but might not work on windows

Backside Keyboard
https://github.com/semilin/genkey this is the one I have in mind currently. I currently use a keyboard layout made by this, and I also know semilin.

Should I create my own keyboard layout?
More importantly it's got things to look for in section 2: stats to rate a layout by, usually generated by the DH analyser, genkey (from the person who created Semimak) and lately the a200 analyser (by the person who created the Pine layouts). In a very general sense, sfb >> dsfb > redirects with onehands, rolls and alternation being personal preference, given a sensible hand and finger balance. Stats shouldn't be a crutch to justify a certain layout, but they can give valuable insight in how a layout does in certain aspects and how it will perform generally. Even people who do know what they're doing rely on analysers a lot for sanity checks as they make misakes really easy to spot. Creating layouts is a lot of fun though, and me and the homies in the alt layout discord are always willing to help :)

I drew up some initial sketchs for my optimal keyboard layout and was told you guys might have some advice on it?
I'm guessing you have no prior experience with creating layouts, so I think you should probably make yourself familiar with the general idea of what makes a layout good or bad. I think section 2 of this document should give a good overview (I think it's useful in general, there's also information about the data used for analysis and contains a tonne of good layouts, sorted by sfb). A lot of those you can find with analysers like the colemak DH analyser or genkey, and they can give you a good idea of when a layout is 'good'. To be very brief, generally it comes dowt to sfb >> dsfb > redirects with alternating vs rolling and onehands being personal preference, assuming that you keep a sensible finger and hand balance. Stats aren't the end-all be-all, but are really useful guidelines. Even if you do know what you're doing, it's almost inevitable you analyse your layouts at some point.

How could I possibly edit EPKL layouts?
About your last paragraph: I 100% agree with you! And that's the beauty of alt layouts, it's all preference. But I want to make this clear, if you are looking for an optimal layout for portuguese, Colemak is not the way to go. And in my experience, all layouts that I've seen are trash for portuguese. If you want to create one, go ahead, as long as you know what you are doing. You can use Semi's analyzer for this, just insert your own corpus and see what you end up with.

As simple as ABC.
Results were geneted using Genkey, the analyser used to create Semimak. The analyser grades layouts with a score (based on a bunch of metrics), the lower the number the better the layout basically which is what the numbers in the bottom mean: [191, 195] are all layouts that scored between 191 and 195

Recommendation for New QWERTY-switcher for Moonlander?
I think they are simply a % at the moment, not really weighed for distance/finger strenght. Semi's genkey has 'finger speed' which has not yet been included in the doc but which should be what you're looking for. It's essentially how often, far and fast a finger has to move, weighed by how strong a firger is supposed to be (stats garnered by Semi), so a 2 row sfb would mean very high speed (bad). I think that's what you mean by finger weighed?
