• Framework for Assessment and Ranking of OSS Community is being presented in the current research work following a detailed examination of the largest source code hosting and project collaboration platform, GitHub ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 2 hl-color:: green id:: 64414fc0-9d0b-49e1-be64-9927f66691fa
• The effectiveness of the framework was verified through its application to7 OSS projects hosted on GitHub. The performance score for each project was calculated using 3 subcharacteristics and 24 metrics. The outcome revealed that the "python-twitter-tools/twitter" project achieved the highest project community assessment score of 0.5906, while the "darkk/redsocks" project had the lowest score of 0.1288 ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 2 hl-color:: yellow id:: 64415005-3c95-4351-ad8b-60da82a403f5

• Three main aspects related to OSS project community viz. Community Structure, Community Interaction and Core Contributors’ Competence has been taken into account for developing the framework. GitHub, the largest software hosting platform of current times, is explored exhaustively to determine all the metrics related to an OSS project and the appropriate metrics are mapped to the three main aspects mentioned above. OSS projects under consideration are ranked as per the assessment scores obtained for their communities. Assessment and ranking of OSS projects has been done using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach [10]. Particularly, a widely cited and accepted MCDM method named as The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) [11] has been applied for conducting assessment of the community of 7 OSS projects ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 3 hl-color:: red id:: 644240e6-721e-4ca0-a2e2-7a1d211e3c5e
• Authors concluded that there is a need for novel OSS quality assessment framework as existing quality assessment models lack in various aspects in their quality assessment practice. Some of the aspects where existing OSS quality assessment models lack are non-inclusion of social networking features provided by software hosting platforms, not considering the effect of commercial organizations in OSS development, level of subjectivity in assessment process, non-availability of tool support for automated quality assessment etc. ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 4 hl-color:: green id:: 6442414c-e795-4594-93fa-a04908ed7184 hl-stamp:: 1682063695428
