If GitHub profiles really are becoming the "new resume", I think users are need more control over them. Certainly sorting projects is a good start.

#14This thought literally just occurred to me yesterday when I was looking at the famo.us repo.
what would be cool would be if each one could create their own views/rankings of anyone's public repo.
