Add namespace support for curated lists #229

Open Ly0n opened 1 month ago

Ly0n commented 1 month ago

Some very modular projects are managed in an entire namespace created just for that project. It might be helpful to allow the listing of whole namespaces. Unfortunately, this might break many of the conventions we have so far.

So far we have tried to add the core repository, but in many cases this does not work when projects are very modular. Here is a well known example: https://github.com/IPCC-WG1

I do not know of a solution for this yet.

Maybe we can treat all the repos in a namespace as a single repository, counting commits, issues, contributors etc across all of them into a single entity?

Ly0n commented 1 month ago

We could try, but how much complexity would it add to ecosystem.ms? Is it worth it? It might also skew the statistics. We would need to change the Contribution Guide to only allow such entries when it is clear that a project/application is being developed across a whole namespace, and that the individual parts cannot be reused in isolation.

https://github.com/fiboa looks like another good example
