This is a proposal to rethink the notability guidelines for free open-source software (FOSS) under active development, with public repositories, and with a sizable developer community and user base. In particular, sources which would otherwise not be considered reliable (e.g. technology blogs not as popular as the Linux Journal) nevertheless indicate notability, because their apparent lack of reliability is coupled with the intrinsic verifiability of FOSS (claims can be tested by downloading the source code).
