We need a contributing.md document

jwdebelius opened this issue · 0 comments

As we start to expand analyses and contributors, we need contributing guidelines. These probably need to cover the following areas:

  • Requirements for testing code (i.e. separate logic and plotting, plotting does not need to be tested)
  • What data can be hosted on GitHub, and where alternative data should be hosted
  • Structure for IPython Notebooks
  • Whether IPython Notebooks represent a tutorial of how data was generated, or if they need to reflect all data generated.
