How we pick

An editor picks 6 to 12 projects for one job and writes when to choose each one. Every pick had a commit in the last 6 months. It is not archived. Its worth score is 60 or more. An editor breaks a rule only for a reason, and writes that reason in the pick's note. We check every list again each quarter. A pick goes when it breaks a rule or a clearly better project appears.
