I really like the idea here. Interesting how many of the projects are in .net, I wonder if that's just the authors language or if there really are a disproportionately higher number of .net projects well organized for accepting new contributors.

This is likely a historical thing (the curators have a background in .NET and web development, and have lots of contacts in the .NET OSS space) but not something we want to limit ourselves too.

I think working with the sites listed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10837009 or even GitHub itself could help expand this idea out even further.

I really wanted openhatch to take off, but it seems it never did.
