My concern is that the value a project brings isn't always objectively measurable. You can try to approximate it, sure, using # of downloads and whatever else, but then those metrics can also be easily gamed if the incentives are large enough. For example if you applied this same logic to the npm ecosystem then the creator of is-odd would retire a billionaire.

Regardless, donating something is always better than donating nothing, so kudos.

Thanks. There is no ideal set of metrics for value, but some measurable ones correlate with it. The more reasonable inputs are accounted for, the harder it is to game the system.

Regarding is-odd, it would unlikely receive a high score even with the current primitive version of my algorithm, as it already includes the package size among the "risk" set.
