Zephyr Stars: Projects we're watching
Zephyr Stars is a list Github Projects starred by Zephyr members.
These projects have been “starred” multiple times by the members of the Zephyr Foundation.
Stars mean different things to different people, from “this is a useful tool for work” to
“I want to be able to find this again” to “my buddy made a fundraising website”.

Stars mean different things to different people, from “this is a useful tool for work” to
“I want to be able to find this again” to “my buddy made a fundraising website”.
But it is expected that GitHub projects high on this list
(i.e. starred by a large number of analytic transportation professionals)
will tend to be in the first category. Take a look!!
