Thank you! I'm the maintainer of the awesome-nim and I'm so tired to maintain this repo. Awesome-nim is now deprecated in favor of Curated Packages.

Thats works! I have moved RTree from Graphics algorithms to Data structures . I do not fully understand the sorting in each category, seems to be mostly alphabetical, but not strict, and what is about lower case and upper case? You wrote about prefering pure packages. Note that wNim and gintro

Instead of depending on external Github repository, I've moved my curated packages list to Nim's wiki: [https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Curated-Packages](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Curated-Packages) Now everybody can contribute. No need to wait for PR being merged: you just need

I just opened an issue on the awesome-nim repo about adding a few more collaborators, so that PRs can be merged more quickly. [https://github.com/VPashkov/awesome-nim/issues/65](https://github.com/VPashkov/awesome-nim/issues/65)

Well, there is a two-month-old PR waiting to merged. I think awesome-nim is a very important resource for newcomers. Personally, it was one of the first repos I checked when I found nim. Also, I agree with @kidandcat

Like I always say, the awesome-nim repo should be under the nim org, then if all core maintainers are busy even for accepting PRs, add external collaborators, but keep the repo under your control if that person disappear.

Well, I think awesome-nim is abandoned. If anyone knows the creator it would be nice if he wants to pass the repo to the official nim organization or to someone active in the community.

When you decide to take vacations and visit a new country, I hope you take a tourist guide or a map of that new location and don't go at random with only a GPS. A map is not complete but indicates interesting places. Depending on your interest in history or gastronomy, you'll take different

It's a wiki, we can edit it. And it's better if people from the domain actually add the packages they find useful like: * data science / statistics: missing ggplotnim and nim-plotly * bio: missing nim-hts Though I strongly disagree with putting nimbus and blockchain in Finance. Anyway,
