@natemcmaster This repository is fantastic. Especially for a librarian junkie like me. However, .NET Core is getting so popular I wonder if things should be broken out differently?

Some possible starter categories

  • Testing
  • Documentation System
  • Cryptography / Hashing / Compression
    • dotnet-encrypto
    • dmd5
    • dotnet-hash
    • srihash
  • Project System
  • Web
  • Other

I agree this list is getting a bit long. I like the idea of categories.

I've also been wondering if we should shorten each entry to a single line and a link the nuget.org page. Nuget.org already provides links to source code and project sites, and installation instructions.

@natemcmaster Thanks for your patience while I catch up on all the many projects I contribute to!

I like the examples in-line. It motivates me to play around with new things. There is value in telescoping information for users. Let's start by refactoring to categories and if we still think it's hectic, we can shorten. But I feel shortening prematurely is harder to revert than going in smaller steps.

Not planning on doing this. Would take a lot of time to categorize on my own.

Makes sense.
