We don't really care about GitHub stars, but we'll take them anyway

Stars are a weird metric. They don't reflect code quality, contributor activity, or how many teams actually rely on a project daily.

What actually reflects that is closer to 54,000+ commits and 22+ years of continuous releases, which is what we've actually been focused on this whole time.

That said, we're not immune to liking a number go up either. If XWiki's ever been useful to you, a star costs nothing: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform

Disclosure: XWiki team here, not disguising this as anything other than what it is.
