It didn't detect my location correctly. I'm in the Boston area, not the UK: http://github-awards.com/users/search?login=kylecronin https://github.com/kylecronin

That said, I imagine a lot of headhunter companies use the same kind of heuristic, which is probably why I get so many unsolicited interview requests despite my lackluster activity (I'm in the top 200 developers of Ruby in New York, and #3200 in CSS...of the entire world)
Surprised to see that I'm only detected as having 34 "Ruby" stars when one of my Ruby projects has ~6,700 stars, all told across all my projects I ought to have closer to 10k ★. Fun project, but buggy data makes for a bit of a crappy user experience. Doesn't GH classify languages pretty well using it's Linguist project? The project with ~6,700 stars is correctly classified as [ Ruby 97.5% | HTML 2.5% ] (the 2.5% seem…
What is your GitHub username ? GitHub Archive data are not perfect, and there are also room for improvements in the import process.

You are reporting 115 stars for JS, when I actually have 700+
Another thing to factor in to make this more accurate is to detect if repos are in a package system like bower or npm.
If so then factor in the downloads for those packages. For example one of my repos only has 100 stars, but gets nearly 10,000 downloads a month on NPM. Another has 600+ stars but only gets around 100-200 downloads a month.

It told me it coudln't identify my city from my github account. Indeed, i did not have "location" field filled out in my github profile. I went and filled it out. But it still says it cant' identify my city. Caching? Which hopefully will be refreshed at some point? Or do I need to fill out my location in a way other than I have?
This brings up something I've been grappling with. How do you get more eyeballs on your open source work? I have a few projects, as does my company, but getting more interest/stars seems like it requires a large investment - substantially larger than any benefit we'd likely derive. "Back in the day" I remember it was as easy as sharing with a few friends or posting on HN, and it would quickly get some traction. Now i…
2. Have a ton of examples in the repository
3. Use it in production in your own stuff
4. Keep a solid change log and upgrade guide
5. Ignore the stars, all of this is for your team.

I asssume stars only apply for personal projects? Spin it off, lose your ranking. :)

I don't think it's updated in realtime, is it?
I'd like to call out for the author of this that you are in breach of the Github name and branding usage guidelines: > ## Naming projects and products > Please avoid naming your projects anything that implies GitHub’s endorsement. This also applies to domain names. (Reference: https://github.com/logos ) Edit: Why the downvotes? It's valid, and if someone had used my company name in their unauthorized, misleading and…
