best-of-organizations

Feature description:

The proposal is to be able to add organizations in addition to projects to the .yml file, and a a score that combines the score of its own projects in a unique score evaluating the organization "reputation".

The expected behavior would be to be able to add a section configurations to the projects.yaml file. The schema would be equivalent to the one for projects. The only difference would be how the score is calculated.

Problem and motivation:

When evaluating tools and projects, it is common to also evaluate organizations, companies, foundations, etc. behind the project. You can have a very trendy project but that is developed by a single person with no track record. When adopting technology, the following evidences use to be taking into account:

• track record of the organization
• number of contributors (total and long-term)
• active projects
• high quality projects
• etc.

For instance, for two similar projects in term of by-project quality, I might trust better a project belonging to apache foundation that a single-developer endeavour.

Is this something you're interested in working on?

Yes, I could collaborate in the definition, and testing.
