Newcomers
Where to contribute this week: repositories that gained 100+ stars this week and still carry issues labelled for newcomers. Labels are matched against each repository's own label list, not GitHub's standard names: freeCodeCamp uses first timers only, which a standard search misses.
A star delta has been computed for 52,825 of 62,640 tracked repositories in this period, and only those can be ranked in it.
Why a repository can be missing
A repository missing here has not been measured far enough back yet. That does not mean it did not move.

The 30 repositories that gained the most stars this week out of 482 that qualify, ranked by stars gained, then by open newcomer-labelled issues. Every number is GitHub's own count for the repository, read at our last measurement.

Coverage: we have read the labels and health files of 8.2k of the 62.6k repositories we track, and 2.2k carry newcomer work. A repository with a big issue list but no matching label is missing a label we can recognise, not the work, so it does not appear above. An issue can carry several labels, so counts overlap.
