My biggest factor in choosing an Open Source Software platform is the size * activity of the community.

I think it would be a huge improvement to give me a sense of whether the product is well supported.

There are a few reasons for this...

1. I want to choose an OSS that will have security vulnerabilities resolved in a timely fashion.

2. I want the product to keep up with the times and changing landscape.

3. I want to be able to converse usefully in a forum to resolve issues.

4. I don't want to search for a new replacement product and undergo a migration because all the devs have abandoned the project in x years.

Makes sense. What would you want to see in that regard beyond what's already on the site? It currently shows last commit and release date, and that date is green for projects with recent releases...

Some sense of how widely adopted the software is. There is a critical mass required for me to commit to an OSS. Before that critical mass the products are usually poorly maintained and full of bugs and security holes.

I’m not OP.
