What is the source of your data? How do you define "government activity on GitHub"? Do you look at domain used in contact, affiliation, etc.?

#4I don’t think open issues is a very useful metric because an open issue may stick around for 10 years and just stay low priority. So number of open issues doesn’t really mean much. Maybe instead show issue velocity of how many created+closed each period to show activity. Or show commits.

This GitHub page was the starting point: https://government.github.com/community

Yeah, I definitely agree, more sophisticated metrics are in the pipeline. Wanted to get an MVP out as quickly as possible.

From what I gather from this page it seems organisations need to be added by the community or organisation members. I know a few organisations that aren't on that list for my country like https://github.com/GouvernementFR, https://github.com/DISIC, https://github.com/ANSSI-FR and https://github.com/ansforge. No promises but I might make a PR tonight on the page you mentioned.

That would be great, scraping that site is the entrypoint of my data pipeline!

#9No explanation of where this data is coming from or how it's being labeled? Your top table on the right hand side shows seven "countries" but only one of the names in there is actually the name of a country (Norway).
It looks like you're just taking the top-level headers from that "who's using Github" page? Civic Hacker is one of those and is showing up as a "country" in your dataset, but clearly isn't. Looking at the first few tiles, it includes at least a few US cities, some US states, and Romania.

they're all useless vanity metrics that cannot offer any comparison to another organization or project
software that is complete also fails every vanity metric
