What is Coder Score and how is it calculated?

SeekOut has analyzed each GitHub member's code contributions to determine how accepted and influential their code is. Using that analysis, we assign each member a Coder Score of one to five stars based on their demonstrated contributions. 

• Five stars corresponds to the top 2% of all Github members.
• Four stars is for the top 10%
• Three stars is the top 30%.
• Two stars is the top 60%.
• The rest are given one star. 

Note: 

Because we measure demonstrated ability based on actual Github contributions, you can be confident a developer with a 3, 4, or 5 star rating is very strong -- extremely strong in the case of 5 stars. They've proven it on Github. 

Developers with lower scores, however, may still be very good or even great. It's possible they just don't do a lot of Open Source development.
