摘要
Software Development Tends to be unequal when analyzed from a contributor perspective. A critical factor is the rise of influencers who lead development and dictate how the project evolves. By studying influencers, we can understand the evolution of a software ecosystem (SECO) and predict the future of its platform. Taking GitHub projects as our object of study, a SECO refers to "groups of projects that are developed and coevolve in the same ecosystem." For example, npm SECO is formed by GitHub projects that are related to its libraries and packages.
