Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Its the same as using any embed code, there’s no difference. Wish you could find and import your Wufoo Form straight from WordPress instead of having to go back and forth between sites.
