It would be great if such a site gave a SCORE for the open sourceness of the product in question. It has been becoming more and more common to have "open source" projects that are either not developed in the open, or not provide all the functionality needed without buying the "enterprise" version. Some projects don't provide installable binaries on some or all platforms either. Other metrics could be having an up to date repo, number of committers, number of recent bugs/issues not acknowledged in their repo etc.

That is good idea.

I have noted and will add to roadmap. Score will be calculated differently for different categories of software. Like for Desktop apps and SAAS projects, metrics will be different. Will have to think through this.
