On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Panther Labs is slightly ahead of Yoast. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Yoast is slightly ahead of Panther Labs.

Panther Labs carries 668 GitHub stars across 25 public repos, with 11 repositories active in the last 90 days and 18 external contributors on record. Yoast shows 3,439 stars across 78 public repos, 12 active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors.
