It depends on what languages you want to learn, or what types of projects you want to examine. I follow 13 people and 48 projects, which are listed here -- of course, some of the people and projects I follow may not be interesting to you.

If you are interested in an informal poll, here is what repositories are watched by most people at github.

Answer 3

I agree with mipadi. It is impossible seriously follow a lot of projects from GitHub. Everyone should choose projects corresponds with his know-how, his spectrum of interest and with the current project on which he are working.

I personally use intensively jqGrid jQuery plugin and so me favorite places on the GitHub are http://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid (fixes of the current release) and http://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/tree/dev (beta of the new major release).
