A further comment on discoverability.  
If I were searching for Julia repos on pdes, the following 6 are the ones I’d try:

1 `#partial-differential-equations` 15 repos: [https://github.com/topics/partial-differential-equations?l=julia](https://github.com/topics/partial-differential-equations?l=julia)  
2 `#pde` 11 repos: [pde · GitHub Topics · GitHub](https://github.com/topics/pde?l=julia)  
3 `#pdes` 2 repos: [pdes · GitHub Topics · GitHub](https://github.com/topics/pdes?l=julia)  
4 Observer: [https://juliaobserver.com/searches?utf8=✓&term=pde](https://juliaobserver.com/searches?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=pde)  
5 Filter by tag: [https://pkg.julialang.org/docs/](https://pkg.julialang.org/docs/)  
6 Svaksha’s: [https://github.com/svaksha/Julia.jl](https://github.com/svaksha/Julia.jl)

Of course you wouldn’t discover repos that are not tagged or registered.  
In none of these searches would you discover @jlchan’s repo on DG methods for pdes or several other nice repos in @PetrKryslUCSD’s survey.

The R community’s solution is [CRAN Task Views](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/), for example see [Differential Equations](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/DifferentialEquations.html).  
Python is trying [Python Task Views](https://github.com/open-risk/pythontaskviews).

To be clear before [CRAN Task Views](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/) R users have informally posted links to packages in their domains on their blogs etc. However, having something in an official place w/ volunteers who maintain it is more reliable.

There have been multiple requests for a Julia Task Views. I would be happy to volunteer to organize one on Data sources. @StefanKarpinski @viralbshah @jeff.bezanson would it be possible to create a Julia Task Views w/ volunteers? Possibly ([Community](https://julialang.org/community/)) below organizations?
