Myrle,

As I was trying to send a link to the Apache Fineract CN repositories to a
new partner looking to contribute, I realized how difficult that is to do
within Github given the separate repository per microservice and now that
all the repositories aren't the sole repositories under the organization.

Unfortunately, despite requests for support for folders or namespaces or
ways to organize repositories within and across organizations for years now
(1) Github still doesn't properly support this.

Right now one would have to share 30+ links or just tell someone to go to
apache organization and search fineract-cn

I believe the best way to do this would be use their "topics" feature (2,3)

We could give a topic-name of "fineract-cn" to each of the repositories for
each microservice and then we could create a search filter like this user
has done at (4) to provide one link for a user to find all the
repositories.

We could also add in topics like core-banking, microservices, cloud-native,
open-banking, mobile-banking, etc as other topics to make the repositories
more discoverable.

Only admins of the repo have access to add topics - if you think this is a
good approach to take, could you please begin adding those topics? Or I can
do so if I have necessary permissions.
