Now let’s nerd out on the data :)
tip of the iceberg
The data you’ve just seen comes from 184 organizations－Precious Plastic, however, is much larger than that, as we have 2014 registered ones on our Community Map.
Only 9% of the actual Precious Plastic community impact is shown here!
As we depend on the workspaces to add their data, we are unfortunately missing quite a few and don’t have the manpower to audit it.
We know this data isn’t the most accurate, but it is a start to tackle the challenge of measuring the impact of a large open source project! One of our long term goals is to improve.
