can you write code that anyone else will want to use?

• shields.io
• look at https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/README.md
• compare https://github.com/kerschke/flacco to http://github.com/timm/bnbad
  • which one was written in a weekend by one person?
  • which one looks like a team of people have been at it for a while?

have the projects disappear at half time

each second half project needs to be supported by 2 teams (no support for your current project? u have to move)

how to make your project attractive?

• doco
• is the readme cool?
• is the team approachable? (do they respond to your questions in GH?)
• read the code, does it have any internal consistency, follow known patterns?
• test suites
• a sweet GitHub repo
• a great video
• a great problem
• does the code confirm to some standard (that makes sense)
• what does the coverage tool say about your code?
• does all the code have tests (or is it all fancy, never exercised)

Notes on coding standards.

No standard is best Lack of standards is worse

• moderately heavy: https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html
• lightweight https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#styleguides
