We have written many open source modules and entire projects over the past few years of @dwyl
But what is our definition of "success" for Open Source?
Is the fact that the project/repository is open and available for anyone to read on GitHub "enough"?
Or can we quantify the success of Open Source in order to explain its merits to other people?
