The RASG-Affiliates organization supports development of projects that are their way to meeting the standards of RASG. RASG-Affiliates is a different organization from RASG, and is meant to be a collection of scientific software generally useful to the field of Radio Astronomy. This particular organization encourages good software practices, including using unit tests and comments to provide high-quality software. Below we delineate what the loose requirements are for membership as a RASG-Affiliated repo versus a RASG core repo.
RASG-Affiliated Repos, in general, should have:
pip install . (even if the package is not on PyPI).flake8 or pycodestyle can be used to enforce this).In contrast, RASG core repos represent a higher bar for support. In particular, the core RASG developers have agreed to maintain these repos and ensure a higher level of code quality and community engagement. Additional requirements for consideration as a RASG core repo are:
healvis: Visibility simulation of the sky on HEALPix maps.
simpleDS: Simple delay-space power spectrum estimator using proper cosmological normalization.
Contributors to the RASG Organization documents on these pages are subject to the Code of Conduct and Contributing Guide below. We encourage RASG-Affiliated repos to adopt their own Codes of Conduct and Contributing Guides. These documents in the pyuvdata repo (pyuvdata Code of Conduct and pyuvdata Contributing Guide) are good examples.
