On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Iterable is slightly ahead of Dropbox. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Dropbox is ahead of Iterable. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Dropbox is clearly ahead of Iterable.

Dropbox carries 61,045 GitHub stars across 247 public repos, with 29 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Iterable shows 269 stars across 100 public repos, 16 active in the last 90 days and 10 external contributors.
