It’s possible to find that information, but it’s not obvious. I am one of the people who laments the demise of stackforge…it was very clear that stackforge projects were not official, but part of the OpenStack ecosystem. I wish it could be resurrected, but I know that’s impractical. To make this actionable...Github is just a mirror of our repositories, but for better or worse it's the way most people in the world explore software. If you look at OpenStack on Github now, it’s impossible to tell which projects are official. Maybe we could help by better curating the Github projects (pinning some of the top projects, using the new new topics feature to put tags like openstack-official or openstack-unofficial, coming up with more standard descriptions or naming, etc.). Same goes for our repos…if there’s a way we could differentiate between official and unofficial projects on this page it would be really useful: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/I think even if it was only solvable on github, and not cgit, it would help a lot. The idea of using github project tags and pinning suggested by Lauren seems great to me. If we replicated the pinning on github.com/openstack to "popular projects" here - https://www.openstack.org/software/, and then even just start with the tags as defined in governance - https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tags/index.html it would go a long way.
We can also standardize the README files in the projects and use the badges that were created already. These badges are automatically generated for every project. I think there's a way we could also make this work in cgit too and we won't need something that is github specific. These badges can be used for documentation too. Here's Glance's example: https://github.com/openstack/glance#team-and-repository-tags Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
