Just so I understand how these scores are supposed to work (and because I was genuinely curious to see how Lightcone would rank in this list), when I search for Lightcone Infrastructure on the GiveWiki page, Lightcone does show up with a support score of 208, but it doesn't show up in the table on the frontpage. 

What's the cause of some organizations showing up on the list but not Lightcone?

Hiii! You can toggle the “Show all” switch on the projects list to see all publicly listed projects. We try to only rank, and thereby effectively recommend, projects that are currently fundraising, so projects that have any sort of donation page or widget that they direct potential donors to. In some cases this is just a page that says “If you would like to support us with a donation, please get in touch.” When the project owner adds a link to such a page in the “payment URL” field, the project switches from “Not currently accepting donations” to “Accepting donations” and is visible by default. In the case of Lightcone, we couldn't find any such page.

The Lightcone project is currently still owned by us, which is a stopgap. I see that you already have an account on platform. Can I assign the project to you so you can add or remove the donation link as you see fit? Thanks!
