Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects

#22This is one thing that bugs me a lot about how centralised Github becomes: if you want any changes, you have to resort to begging with blog posts.
How else would you want it to be ?
A public issue queue for github? :)

Re: Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects
#23In the last paragraph OP writes "I implore you to allow us to sort our own repos. I know that there are mixed feelings about Windows 8's tile layout for their start menu, but I think that's the sort of thing that we need for project sorting."
Just like they've been grouping projects on their explore pages -- https://github.com/explore -- I would love to see this functionality availble to users to sort repos on their own profile pages as well.

GitHub could put up a voting user-oriented website much like the now discontinued Ubuntu Brainstorm.
I have plenty of ideas for them…
* allow symlinks in the gh-pages branch
* do not `chmod u+x` every text file in zip archives
* actually support `git-archive`
* make rebasing of PRs easier
* look for a contributor's code in a repo
* when looking at a file, have a link showing current PRs editing it

#25Completely unrelated, but I couldn't stop laughing when I finished reading the article and saw "David Gay" as the post author at the bottom. Every time he introduces himself, reactions might range from hilarity to anger.
Good for him to live with the pride of his ancestors and not changing his last name. Probably why the domain is oddshocks.com instead of his full name; I see it easily ending up on the wrong side of a NSFW-filter.

My problem with it isn't the medium for the begging, but that it has to be done by begging instead of doing.
Re: Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects
#27I completely agree with this. It has bothered me for a long time that I cannot sort my own projects by what I think is important.
Re: Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects
#28With more and more companies using your GitHub page as a resume of sorts, this kind of customization is becoming a necessary requirement.

Saw this in another thread on HN today: https://github.com/github-issues/github-issues. Similar goal as Isaac's repo.
