Abstract
A software artifact is scored for a user. Metadata associated with an artifact about project activity of how active an artifact project is to which the artifact belongs, a security risk indicated in the metadata of the artifact, or a license indicated in the metadata of the artifact, is collected from a software repository. A weighting of the artifact alone is determined from the metadata associated with the artifact that indicates desirability of the project activity, the security risk, or the license. The metadata associated with the artifact is compared to appropriateness with a metadata of a user project to which the user belongs as indicated by a profile of the user, so as to provide a score considering the determined weighting of the artifact and a appropriateness of the artifact for the user with respect to an intended use of the artifact by the user.
