Open-Source 'Roadmap' Document URL Protocol Diversity

This page tracks the diversity of URL protocols found within open-source project roadmap documents. We examine the proportion of standard web protocols like 'http' and 'https', alongside more specific protocols such as 'git:' and 'ssh:' which indicate direct integration with version control systems or secure shell access.

Roadmaps are crucial documents outlining a project's future direction. By analysing the protocols within the URLs they contain, we gain insight into how developers plan to connect with external services or resources. This can reveal trends in preferred integration methods, reliance on cloud services, or the adoption of secure development practices.

The data is gathered by analysing publicly available roadmap documents from a wide range of open-source projects. Understanding this protocol diversity helps us gauge the evolving landscape of open-source development connectivity and potential dependencies.
