Yes, you make some good points, there are a number of things we should be considering when selecting a project for OSGeo-Live. A more detailed list is provided in our application form:<br>

While projects should rightly be concerned if OSGeo-Live only uses<br>
OpenHub metrics to assess project health, they should be significantly<br>
more concerned about the general public's assessment of their project.<br>

You're correct to say that these metrics should not be the only criterion for<br>
removing projects from OSGeo-Live. There are so many other (in my view more<br>
important) factors to consider:<br>
- is the software useful? Is the software reliable?<br>
- is the inclusion straightforward or does it require lots of building /<br>
packaging / patching / dependency-resolution work from the OSGeo-Live team?<br>
- does it take up a lot of disk space?<br>
- is the team responsive to questions from the OSGeo-Live team, are the<br>
developers helpful with providing information and documentation?<br>
- and many other factors too of course.<br>
<br>

I think it should be a priority of all projects to try an ensure their<br>
OpenHub metrics reflect the true health of their project ...<br>

Well, OpenHub (BlackDuck) is a company. If (in your opinion) their numbers<br>
aren't providing a useful picture then it is arguable whether this should be put<br>
at the door of all the unpaid open software developers, or alternatively at the<br>
door of the company's staff and systems.<br>
