One of the greatest dangers in any project is that people forget how to reproduce the work already done. Yet reproducibility is the first requirement of science! Please:
- Give sufficient information to build the codes and run them on a particular problem, including links to code and data repositores. It's OK to refer to specific README files in the source code, no need to repeat the info.
- Make sure to note versions with which it all worked, such as git commit hash or Subversion tag for source codes, the date and some checksum (sum, md5sum) for data files, and versions of the operating system, compilers, and libraries.
- Include some pictures and results.
- Update the pages as the codes and data change.
Thanks!
