Description
In the words of the wise @namurphy,
That reminds me... It would be great to have a page on our website that lists other open source packages in plasma physics. I would really like to emphasize the open source packages that exist already.
We should make sure that the packages have an Open Source Initiative approved license, or at the very least meet their definition of open source.
The primary tools for this one: listing known plasma open source packages here, and google. Once we have a bunch, we'll add them to the website.
I'll go through my stars on GitHub tomorrow and add a bunch of those.

Research direction
Review the linked Matrix discussion and the issue text to define the list's scope. Use Google and known GitHub stars to identify plasma physics packages, checking that each has an OSI-approved license or otherwise meets the stated open-source definition. Done means the qualifying packages are collected and ready to be added as a page on the website.
