We should be using the supabase dev database when developing, not working off prod.

Describe the solution you'd like

package.json scripts for starting up a database and README instructions on how to use it

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

A 1-pager that concisely proposes a science retrofunding program

Is there any context that might help us understand?

• Initial focus will probably be something in computer science and open source software, with a hint to how it can be generalized
• Audience will be traditional funding institutions (e.g. government agencies)

https://github.com/hypercerts-org/hypercerts/blob/main/os-observer/src/events/github_events.py
Thanks Carl for getting this started!

Describe the solution you'd like

This needs to be rewritten as idempotent Typescript functions that can be plugged into the os-observer CLI and library. See here for how that's set up: hypercerts-org/hypercerts#741

If we write it in TS connected to this harness, it should automatically work in the following environments:

• From the command-line
• From GitHub actions (manually triggered atm)
• Exported as a library (see frontend/ for an example of usage)
• From an API (currently exposed at https://www.opensource.observer/api/*)

Sticking to Python

What is it?

API

Currently starting with commit histories to the main branch in a project repo:

Next steps:

• Create query for repos owned by individuals (rather than organizations)
• Create handling for repos that have no activity vs repos that don't exist
• Compile summary analytics on repo availability for all RPGF2 grant recipients

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Sometimes (e.g. common ML libraries) that README files or documentation will link to the academic papers that inspired it.
It would be nice to be able to measure citations between software and papers, as easily as we measure citations among papers

Would love for our data fetching scripts to run on the regular in GitHub Actions CI.

Describe the solution you'd like

This includes:

• Refactoring our scripts to be idempotent
• Setting up a standard environment (either in Docker or actions config)
• Setting up a new GitHub actions environment for secrets

Describe the feature you'd like to request

We should produce a README badge for GitHub repos that conveys a project's impact. Some proposals of what it might show:

• how many packages depend on me both directly and indirectly.

This number should convey social meaning, ideally more than GitHub stars does today.

Describe the solution you'd like

A dynamic image server that renders the badge based on reverse dependency data.

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

A 1-2 page description that captures the objectives, key activities and success metrics of this initiative between now and FtC

Want the CLI to be able to scan the EventSourcePointer table and fetch all data that's marked for autocrawl.

Describe the solution you'd like

a new yargs command called autocrawl that just automatically scans the EventSourcePointer table, selects all rows marked for autocrawl, and run the command with args.

This can be run in a scheduled GitHub actions job periodically

Describe the feature you'd like to request

This is going to take a bit more thought, but we might want to cache some pre-computation, to reduce the load on render.

As a naive strawman, we should check if we can run queries that group by date.
If not, should we pre-compute that?

Probably we want to wait on this till after

This is already in progress, just filing an issue to track it

What is it?

Please comment on this issue with pre-made analyses that could be interesting (okay to try and cull later)

To get it started:

• Ordered list of projects that are most productive (e.g. GitHub issues closed or PRs merged) with funding spent (e.g. expenses)
• Ordered of projects that are most underfunded (e.g. most downloads with least amount of total funding)
• Ordered list of projects with highest growth in downloads per unit dollar funded

Exploring reverse dependency data is probably pretty useful just as a standalone UX.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should enumerate some design ideas, but here are some to start:

• Search + Profile pages for npm packages that tells you more about who depends on me
• Leaderboards that show the most depended on npm packages in the ecosystem
• Visualizations on how big and deep my reverse dependency tree is

For a particular piece of software, we might want to see if it has certain capabilities, which could be:

• compatibility related

These could be measured via unit tests or integration tests in GitHub actions

We're now using Prisma as our ORM. We have been running migrations locally against prod, which isn't great.

Remove those 2 columns from the schema.

Keep as is

Impact

• Transactions
• Internal transactions [nice to have]
• Gas fees generated
• Number of unique addresses interacting with the contract
• Number of monthly active users
• Number of returning users over a given period

Activity

• Contracts deployed

Financing

• Grants received
• Funds dispersed
• Token transfers (send/receive)
• Expenses

Currently ingesting CSV snapshots that utilize Zerion's interface.

Next steps:

• Convert CSVs to a simplified format and store in a database
• Create handling for wallets that have no activity vs wallets that aren't indexible on Zerion
• Compile summary analytics on wallet snapshots for all RPGF2 grant recipients

We should first look to see if this data set already exists. If not, we'll need to build it ourselves and store it in our database

There's 2 things we care about coming from scientific papers:

• What research artifacts were produced, especially open source software

Not a decision, but a placeholder to discuss. Yarn takes a full 2 minutes now in the monorepo.
Some considerations to take into account in this decision:

• How fast is the package manager for development?
• How fast is the package manager in CI/CD?
• How cacheable are the dependencies in CI/CD?

Describe the solution you'd like

yarn => pnpm

Stick with yarn or go with npm

We want to be able to easily migrate the database to new schemas as we iterate on data sources

Describe the solution you'd like

Jason recommended Prisma

Describe alternatives you've considered

TypeORM

Basic UI:

• A user can select a project from a dropdown.
• The app displays two line charts: one for impact over time, another for account balance over time
• The app provides some basic IROI summary statistics (eg, total inflows, total outflows, avg outflows per month, total commits, num commits per month)

This can be done pretty easily with something like Plotly, once that database is in place.

What is it?

We can use tracing libraries or code coverage libraries to see what pathways of code are actually being run. When you combine that with reporting infrastructure, you can create a heatmap of which lines of code are used more than others.

Not a perfect measure of importance, but could be interesting. Thanks Nick for the idea!
