The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Introduction to FPGAs
Check out https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc. It gives you a command line build flow that can drive Vivado (along with many other eda tools via edalize https://github.com/olofk/edalize) without having to touch the GUI (though you might want it for programming the board, though FuseSoC can do that too).

CI/CD for FPGA builds
Check out FuseSoC: https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc it can run Vivado builds for you (as well as many other tools). It may be less work to get FuseSoC setup then work out a CLI Vivado batch flow from scratch.

Besides misterFPGA what else can I play with on a DE10-nano?
Also, the FuseSOC and LiteX projects both support the DE10 nano, and can be used to roll your own custom SOCs with RISC-V or OpenRISC cores.

Why isn't all verification work done in Python
Integration with the dependency and build tool I use (FuseSoc) is clumsy.

Using Python with Vivado Projects
The "fusesoc" project may be of interest to you.

Any recommendations for an RTL "standard library"?
FuseSoC is an RTL package manager. It will automatically download the latest versions of required components when you build. It also comes with a bunch of great options for components here:

What should a modern IP library look like?
Have to correct this slightly: I just heard of my first HDL package manager in this thread. FuseSOC: https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc - Thanks u/gac_cag!
- Olof Kindgren on LinkedIn: We have a new world record! 6000 RISC-V cores in a single chip!

Minimax: a Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU
In short: it works, though the implementation lacks the crystal clarity of FemtoRV32 and PicoRV32. The core is larger than SERV but has higher IPC and (very arguably) a more conventional implementation. The compressed instruction set is easier to expand into regular RV32I instructions than it is to execute directly.

I have created a Reddit community about PicoBlaze soft processor...
As for the size advantage: this mattered more when LUTs were precious and when PicoBlaze's competition was either similarly unorthodox (J1 Forth CPU) or several times larger (MicroBlaze). Nowadays, there are very small RISC-V cores like FemtoRV32 Quark or SERV. RISC-V benefits from mainstream open-source tooling and has momentum that's hard to beat.

RISC-V announces first new specifications of 2022 adding to 16 ratified in 2021
The RISC-V spec does allow non-trapping behavior and SeRV in particular has non-trapping behavior, which is an important part of how it can fit into 200 4-input LUTs.

Efinix and Xyloni Board - Heard a lot of clients mention them, so took a look.
It will be interesting to see if a Serv will fit with some usable gates left over.
