The GitHub Arctic Code Vault program stored all active repositories and inactive repositories with more than 250 stars. It also looks like the visibility of a repository and it's potential to be trending on GitHub has a healthy relationship with the number of people that have starred these repositories.
Now a lot of people don't care about this stuff, and frankly I don't think it's the most important thing to discuss, but I do feel that for something that takes a second of your time, it could be a valuable endeavour for us to at least consciously star our main repositories, so that it could increase its visibility, and even build an initial subconscious rapport with anyone who visits our code on GitHub. Our goal is to provide translators and language tools for languages that often get overlooked by mainstream NLP, and visibility could definitely help us in this regard. I'm sure I'm not the first person to mention this, in fact I even remember discussions about this last year. I just noticed that our apertium/apertium repository has only 24 stars and I just feel like we can do a lot better than that. I don't even mind considering politely asking people who come across our software to star the repo and share it or something. These are just my personal views and I'm happy to be corrected :) Thanks, *तन्मय खन्ना * *Tanmai Khanna*
