Currently, the nexus files are in the C core repo: [https://github.com/igraph/igraph/tree/master/nexus](https://github.com/igraph/igraph/tree/master/nexus) As I understand, this is independent functionality. Should we split it off into a separate repo?

Though nexus is offline now, there is value in preserving it in case someone would want to revive it in the future. But the C core repo doesn’t seem like the right place for it unless I missed some interdependency between them.

I’m totally fine with moving it to a separate repo. Can you go ahead with it, do you have permission to create new repos within the igraph org?

Okay, [https://github.com/igraph/nexus](https://github.com/igraph/nexus) is now live. You can remove it from igraph/igraph
