There are only 3 or 4 of those packages that should be recommended for general use. If someone wants to help users decide what package to use, write up a comparison page with examples. It could be linked from the existing blurbs on the download page. i'd suggest moving the rest to juliagraphics. make sense? Trying to herd together a group of people who have already rejected the aesthetic or engineering choices of existing, competing projects seems totally futile. Winston and Gadfly existed before many of the newer packages, but people chose to start/use/contribute to newer things anyway. Putting packages in an org doesn't make people want to start cooperating. Some of those listed are unmaintained or hobby experiments, and as your link demonstrates, sometimes people just want to do their own thing -- and that's fine!
