About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Before adoption

Review the repository-wide AGPLv3 transition in v3.1.0

The v3.1.0 release states that the core platform and client portal moved to AGPLv3 and previous commercial-license restrictions were retired. Check AGPLv3 obligations for your deployment and modification model.

Sources: [3][4]

Design production secrets, HTTPS, and backups separately

The README calls out strong credentials, HTTPS, PostgreSQL backup practices, and dependency maintenance for production deployments rather than relying on development defaults.
