Flow

Opened versus resolved, normalized by time.

Each bar is a daily rate over matched windows. The comparison stays fair as the launch window grows, capped at fourteen days.

Acquisition vs operations

More output does not automatically mean more contributors.

External inbound and maintainer clearing are shown separately so a maintenance sprint cannot masquerade as community growth.

Opened minus closed work per day. Negative means the queue shrank during the window.



Distribution

Portfolio health needs breadth, not one heroic repo.

Aggregate throughput can hide concentration. This view shows exactly where the closed work happened.

Top two share

60%

of all post-launch closures came from the two busiest repositories.

Methodology

A number should explain itself.

The dashboard is deliberately opinionated about what counts, who counts as external, and how launch comparisons stay fair.

  1. 01

    All repositories currently listed on /oss are included, across crafter-station, Railly, and shiarauzo.

  2. 02

    Before and after use the same elapsed time, capped at fourteen days and expressed as rates per day.

  3. 03

    External means a human author who is not an owner, organization member, or repository collaborator.

  4. 04

    GitHub Search is refreshed hourly. If it is unavailable, the page labels and serves the last verified snapshot.

  5. 05

    Repositories added after launch are included as current portfolio operations. Their earlier activity is context, not causal launch impact.
