How to create a new project

First steps:

Designing your team and project:

To facilitate the discussions around project ideas, you can ask the Hackathon forum maintainers to create a sub-team for you. The subteams that already exist are listed here.

  • Use the main Hackathon forum (or your sub-team forum) to discuss project scope and team membership.
  • As you work, distill your ideas into a pinned discussion. If you use the project description template, you'll be all set up for the next step (below).
  • Ultimately, this space is meant to serve your team, not become a burden, so you should use it however you want.

Once your project idea is finalized:

  • When your project and team members are ready, add a new entry in the list of Projects by creating a new README.md file in subfolder in Projects folder, and copying contents of project description template file into it. Step-by-step instructions for this are:
  1. Open project description template and copy its full content to the clipboard
  2. Go back to Projects folder on GitHub
  3. Click on "Create new file" button
  4. Type YourProjectName/README.md
  5. Paste the previously copied content of project template page into your new README.md
  6. Update at least your project's title, key investigators, project description sections
  7. Add a link to your project to the main project list

Note: some steps above may require creating a pull request until your account is given write access.
