🌐 Do you publish your code properly?

While commercial platforms like GitHub and GitLab may provide very useful collaboration features, they should not be trusted as long-term stewards of software or data. Professional archives are better suited for this. There are some options. Check out our small intro 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/resources#archive-your-code-in-a-long-term-repository

📜 Check: Is your code properly licensed? ⁉️

If not, go and give one of your repositories a license now! It is such a quick and easy way to improve the re-usability of your contribution. Have a look at our small introduction, if you need guidance 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/resources#add-a-license

In the context of #DigiArchMaintainathon, I just uploaded a CFF file to some of my research software, including the Pytheas seafaring simulator. It was so incredibly easy, I do not understand why I did not do this before!

📝 A README is a plaintext file that includes a detailed description of a project. It typically includes:
* A broad overview of the project, why it was developed, and the rationale behind its implementation
* Instructions for how to install or run the code
* Links to other related tools or resources
* Recognition of various contributors
* Status updates, feature roadmaps, and an overview of the project’s overall orientation

Ideally I would have time to spare to look into optimizing part of the code for my R package shoredate (https://github.com/isakro/shoredate) for this weeks #DigiArchMaintainathon Will have to see about that. For now I'm pleased to finally have dealt with some weird testing issues that have been causing my R CMD checks to fail for a while. Comes with a dopamine reward:

In the spirit of the #DigiArchMaintainathon I've updated a couple of Repo READMEs, added cff files and enjoyed the quick "do a release and automatically push it to zenodo" - feature from GitHub. Once it's set up this is such a good and quick way to safeguard a repository, I can really encourage everyone to use it! 🤩 🚀

👾🏺 This week we are hosting a week-long #DigitalArchaeology #maintainathon, an opportunity to clean, document and revise older code together!

If you’re a #ComputationalArchaeology *st take this time to update your README, add code comments, write a unit tests or consolidate your project roadmap, and post about it using #DigiArchMaintainathon. We’ll boost these posts to extend best practices throughout our wonderful #OpenScience research community!
