Reorder according to ABC. Add nipy-the-library. #2

I don't think ABC makes sense - it means that any library beginning with A, no matter how obscure, will go before a library beginning with Z, no matter how fundamental. So, it will make the project page less useful. Can see three options:

That's three :-)

I am not very good at using my judgement. What metric would you propose to use? I propose the sum-of-squared-impact, adjusted for code testing:

SSE = (forks2+stars+release tags**2) / (loc/tests)

I am afraid people might try to game it, by removing code from their projects willy nilly.

Another page with an overview would be useful, or potentially an overview at the top of this page?

  • use some metric to order the projects;
  • use judgement to order the projects;
  • have another page which gives more of an overview.

I just noticed 'Neuroimaing in Python' at the top of the page...

I planted many intentional typos, to get people in the habit of submitting PRs on this repo.

Thanks - fixed that.
