We would like to help with review and remediation for technological readiness of popular open-source languages and frameworks as this is exactly the kind of work we do day in and day out. (We're an open-source-only software development agency which works on improvements that are requested by multiple clients).

I have seen the action plan document here: https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/UASG-FY20-Action-Plan.pdf

Has any work begun on this task? "Determine the evaluation criteria for choosing Frameworks and Programming Languages. Include objective measures that can be used to see results."

Here are some ideas to begin with:

IEEE Survey of programming languages: https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1333572#
TIOBE index: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
StackOverflow Developer survey: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018#technology
GitHub: The state of the octoverse: https://octoverse.github.com/projects.html

Once, we identify the top 20 languages and frameworks, we can build a test suite to continuously track the progress on technological readiness.

Also, I am assuming that we would be including databases among the open-source tools which need to be reviewed.
