This is cool: good, reasonable methodology (I like the value x risk idea).

Two requests: 1) could you easily add the projects to the CSV file (maybe one column left of the user: "projectA;projectB;...") 2) could you share the code (understanding that it's rough and lots of hand-curation)

I've long given to EFF, FSF, and other projects sporadically, but this method seems excellent and expandable and customizable, maybe something like: 1) identify the packages on your machine (or used by your team) 2) score them 3 donate based on score


Thanks!

1) Yes. My plan is to continue iterating on this approach and publish more data later, including projects and some other inputs (PyPI, etc.)

2) Maybe. I prefer the full transparency and have planned to publish the code too, but some comments suggest that it might not be ideal. Need to think more about this.


I believe this is a better approach for scale.

Make it a local or company-wide identification of FOSS packages, and a way for those individuals, teams, and businesses to score them by importance or criticality (or needs of the FOSS project if they are aware).
