Improve the selection of Julia packages

[briatte]

I'm using http://pkg.julialang.org/ but have no clue about the relevance of some of the packages that I have included or excluded. Perhaps @tpoisot might be able to help?

Packages that are already in the list (all relevant?):

• https://github.com/weijianzhang/EvolvingGraphs.jl
• https://github.com/JuliaLang/Graphs.jl
• https://github.com/JuliaGraphs
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphVisualize.jl
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/LightGraphs.jl
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/Networks.jl
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphCentrality.jl

Potential candidates for inclusion on first inspection:

• https://github.com/PoisotLab/EcologicalNetwork.jl
• https://github.com/nassarhuda/MatrixNetworks.jl
• https://github.com/Azzaare/NetworkFlows.jl
• Add to JuliaGraphs item:
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/NetworkLayout.jl
  • https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/LightGraphsExtras.jl
• https://github.com/abhijithanilkumar/NetworkViz.jl (video presentation by the author)
• https://github.com/crsl4/PhyloNetworks.jl
• https://github.com/sisl/BayesNets.jl and https://github.com/sisl/Smile.jl
• https://github.com/sisl/TikzGraphs.jl

Excluded on first inspection:

• https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/HopfieldNets.jl (see note)
• https://github.com/kersulis/MatpowerCases.jl
• https://github.com/AStupidBear/SpikingNetworks.jl (neural networks, see note)

Note: the list does not cover much psy/cog stuff, but perhaps it should. Same goes for neural networks.

Let's ping a few more Julia people for diversity and suggestions:

• @nassarhuda
• @Azzaare
• @abhijithanilkumar (congratulations on your JuliaCon presentation, very informative)
• @crsl4
• @tawheeler from SISL

… And let's add @johnmyleswhite, who might be able to determine whether his package fits in the list or not.

You may want to consider TikzGraphs.

Will do, thanks!

Added all candidates, hope this makes sense. Closing for now.
