Test entry by Scott Chacon recommends repos based on other users’ watch lists that are similar. Result: 16.47%
Played with the following ideas:
- If repos follow a power law, maybe just recommending the top 10 for user’s language of choice will get a high score. Result: 5.8%
- Like above but only consider repos that are mostly in one type of language. Result: 7.6%
- Emphasize repos watched by cowatchers. Result: 18.48%
TODO: Try real machine learning approaches.

At exactly noon PST on August 30, 2009, there is no license at all. The
above two licenses do not cover this infinitesimal moment, noon, because
I wanted an excuse to use the word infinitesimal. How often do you get
to type infinitesimal? And now I’ve typed it THREE times. For such joy,
I’m willing to leave the code unlicensed for an infinitesimal moment.
FOUR!
