+<span class="c1">The Aveloxis test project, Augur, was a substantial
+component of the CHAOSS ecosystem before governance changes that removed
+protections for software creators. These changes were undertaken without
+consulting the Augur team that had spent a decade building Augur. A
+majority of the board at the time held financial interests in Bitergia,
+the primary maintainer of the other CHAOSS software project,
+Grimoirelab. The governance changes were undertaken in conjunction with
+Bitergia’s bankruptcy, and without consideration of the wider CHAOSS
+community or Augur team. </span>

+CHAOSS repositories. Here is a sample for a 14-day period from early
+2026. None of these statistics exceeded 100 for any other CHAOSS

 # Aveloxis Documentation
 
 Aveloxis is a high-performance open source community health data collection platform written in Go. It collects data from GitHub and GitLab with equal completeness, storing it in a shared PostgreSQL schema for cross-platform analysis. It is designed as a companion to (and eventual replacement for) the [Augur](https://github.com/chaoss/augur) collection pipeline.
