We plan to use [gitstats](http://gitstats.sourceforge.net), and the [Stack Exchange API](https://api.stackexchange.com) (at least) to gather data on these repositories.\r\n\r\n**Hypotheses**: We think that the number of contributors/project size should drive the mentions on social media. \r\n\r\n**Plan of Attack**: \r\n1) Figure out how to use the APIs of some social media sites\r\n2) Search for mentions of certain projects by date\r\n2) Run gitstats on the codebases\r\n3) Compare project statistics with social media information"}}
