<p>Thanks Vicky, Micha, Pirmin,</p>
<p>This is really good feedback.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've introduction text to:</p>
<p>"For our next OSGeo-Live release, 11.0, we propose to reduce the
number of packages included, and only support a 64 bit
distribution, (32 bit will be built but not tested or officially
supported)."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regarding OpenHub metrics, I'm very aware that it has many
imperfections. However, as far as I'm aware, it is the best
available, and hence we reference it from OSGeo-Live.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>While projects should rightly be concerned if OSGeo-Live only
uses OpenHub metrics to assess project health, they should be
significantly more concerned about the general public's assessment
of their project.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think it should be a priority of all projects to try an ensure
their OpenHub metrics reflect the true health of their project as
new users can, do, and should make use such metrics as part of
their due diligence of project selection.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Warm regard, Cameron<br>

<pre wrap="">For non-native speakers like me, an earlier hint what the euphemism
"descoping" is standing for, would be very helpful.

Even with English as my mother tongue, I had to think twice about
what phrase referred to. Why not just say outright: "removing some
projects".<br>
<br>
Regarding the list of considerations to assess projects, we need
to keep in mind that some projects, spatialite for example, use
version control systems that are not "Openhub-friendly". So they
are sorely under-represented on Openhub.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
