Is it possible for Julia to have a Task Views website like R does, so new users don’t need to write a post to ask the availability of packages in a specific area?

> **[CRAN Task Views](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/)**
>
> CRAN task views aim to provide guidance which packages on CRAN are relevant for tasks related to a certain topic. They give a brief overview of the included packages which can also be automatically installed using the ctv package.
