== Public Projects
This finder class now _only_ returns public projects. Previously this
finder would also return private and internal projects. Including these
projects makes caching data much harder and less efficient. Meanwhile
including this data isn't very useful as very few users would be
interested in seeing projects they have access to as trending. That is,
the feature is more useful when you want to see what _other_ popular
projects there are.
== Caching
The data returned by TrendingProjectsFinder is now cached for a day
based on the number of months the data should be restricted to. The
cache is not flushed explicitly, instead it's rebuilt whenever it
expires.
== Timings
To measure the impact I changed the finder code to use the last 24
months instead of the last month. I then executed and measured 10
requests to the explore page. On the current "master" branch (commit
88fa5916) this would take an average of
2.43 seconds. Using the changes of this commit this was reduced to
around 1.7 seconds.
