What is OSCR exactly?

[abitrolly]

I can't figure out how it is calculated. Is high means good, or lower is better?

We have some context in the docs, but not a lot. https://opensauced.pizza/docs/welcome/glossary/#oscr

Also a blog post. https://opensauced.pizza/blog/discover-contributor-impact

Open to suggestions on how to translate that context in the UI - cc @BekahHW @isabensusan

@BekahHW @bdougie thanks for the fast response. I've seen the docs before, and they don't answer my questions. I skimmed over the blog post, and also couldn't find the formula.

We haven't shared the formula publicly since it is subject to change, but takes into account the following

• Quality - code contribution quality is similar to how it is measured in other tools.
• Sway - ability for the contributor to generate and participate in conversations (comments)
• Confidence - Ability to make contributions. This is similar to what is shown on repo pages. Someone's likelihood to commit code to a project they have forked.
• Readabilty - coming soon but a measurement of someone's ability to review code.

@bdougie so higher is better?

@bdougie so higher is better?

That's subjective and "better" is not necessarily the focus. Higher means more activity or recent experience. Lower means little to no activity.

Higher means more activity or recent experience. Lower means little to no activity.

That's what I expected to read in a popup help. Thanks.
