Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing generators in the linked src/SimpleGraphs/generators folder and compare their naming and APIs. Confirm with maintainers whether this social-network model belongs in Graphs.jl and what interface it should follow; the work is ready when those placement and API questions are resolved for a PR.

Description

Hi JuliaGraphs team,

I hope you're doing well.

I'd like to contribute a new random network generator that I developed as part of my research. It’s designed to mimic certain social-network properties, and I think it could be a useful addition to the ecosystem.

I already have a working implementation and would be happy to prepare a PR.

Before I do that, I’d like to confirm:

  1. Whether Graphs.jl welcomes adding additional random graph models,
  2. If so, where the implementation should live (e.g., Generators folder), and
  3. Any naming / API guidelines I should follow.

I’d appreciate your guidance!

Thanks,
Yiran
