Neat - I would love to see/read about how that's determined (especially for repos with many or few forkers/contributors)

Thanks, this is a useful complement to github's network graph. The ability to sort repos by last update would make it even nicer IMO.

For the moment it is as simple as using the stars from GitHub. I just wanted to do a quick prototype to see if people want more or not. And now, I'll try to enhance the rate algorithm.

Nice site - it has the potential to be easier to use than the github graph. It would be nice to see how many commits the forks have ahead of their parent, or something like that.

I wish this were a Github feature. Active forks of repositories aren't that easily discoverable, even the network graph isn't always a help.

I made something similar to this but used bubble charts: http://www.toddsifleet.com/projects/github-forks

I'm thinking of a way to give a better view of the forks. with a lot of different aspects of the repo
