It's curious to see ruby on top of the leaderbord. I guess it's because your main source it's github, am I right? Anyway, It's a nice way to find newer projects.

It's not because Github is our main source but because we have more people from Github registered (we have connectors to support git, svn, cvs and hg open source projects from any forge).

Would be great to see people from other communities and/or languages (i.e jquery ranks 13 but John Resig is not even registered)

This makes the data much less interesting to those who come from communities that are generally not signed up.

You can't rank people without having them register?

Yes, we could rank non registered members, but we prefere not to use data from people that don't participate on Masterbranch.

As far as jquery goes we have to sign up or take your word for it?

You can check here https://masterbranch.com/jquery-project/343862

I thought the same thing -- six of ten are ruby projects.
