Bioconductor Classes and Methods Working Group
- Description: Discussions arounnd Bioconductor 'official' classes and methods and how to articulate their benefits to increase their usage across the ecosystem, in particular in new contributions.
- Leads: Laurent Gatto
- Current Members: Vince Carey, Laurent Gatto, Johannes Rainer, Lori Shepherd
The Bio Classes and Methods Working Group tackles the following questions and issues:
-
What are the 'official' classes?
-
What is the procedure to establish a new 'official' class?
-
To what extent should these be enforced during package review?
In general, a package will not be accepted if it does not show interoperability with the current Bioconductor ecosystem.
- If not strictly enforced, should we at least require a wrapper function to convert to these?
