Allan FriedmanAnyone know of research on how people “discover” new open source that they want to use? Does one search GitHub for strings relevant to what they are looking for? See code used in other projects? Are there other registries?
Michael Richardson@allanfriedman Depends upon who the people are. Developers using language foo or framework bar, will usually wind up at the language/framework site looking, but general search will often work. So, "rubygems.org" if I'm in ruby, rust-lang.org/RUST, python.org, etc.
