GROUP Activity: metadata

In the past few lessons we learned about virtual environments, and project metadata. We will now put some of these lessons in to practice.

As a group:

1. Decide upon a versioning scheme that will be used for the project, and if none currently exists, agree on what the current version number should be.
2. Discuss how people should give recognition for using this project as part of their research (or other) work.
3. Create issues on github that request the following changes. Share the creation and assignee responsibilities between group members.
   • The creation of a requirements.txt and environment.yml file that include the dependencies for your project. For each dependency specify the minimum version requirement to be the smallest version that is used by one of the group members.
   • Record the agreed upon current version number of the project in the <project>/__init__.py file.
   • Record the authors in an agreed upon order in the __init__.py file
   • Record the last modification date in the __init__.py file
   • Describe the method by which people should cite or give recognition for using this project
4. For each of the issues above, have a group member follow the branch-develop-pull request workflow that was described earlier. When creating pull requests set the reviewer to include the person who created the initial issue.
5. [Optional] Once all the pull requests have been resolved, repeat the previous SOLO activity for your project (creating a command line interface that will give users access to the --cite, --date, --version, --author information.
