If you think about it, this is basically 1) a marketing problem and 2) would be solved instantly should GitHub introduce a better 'network' visualization.

I actually think it's github's fault to begin with:

- Projects should be top-level in the github namespace, not people.

- Forks should live underneath their source project, and should not be top-level projects themselves.
