There are two main components of this repository:

• project_metadata.yml that defines the set of fields that describe a project and known values for each field
• a directory of projects: one yml per project

Both of these can be updated via a pull request to this repository

• Has a set of attributes, and possible values for each attribute.
• You might find that the set of possible values does not meet your needs. If not, add a new value and make a pull request.
• You might find that you would like a new attribute. If so, please open an issue for discussion in this repository.

• Clone this repository so that you can make a pull request against it
• Copy projects/template.yml.txt to a new file named for your project
• Replace each field with either a descriptive entry for your project (its title, description) or by one of the values from the project_metadata.yml file (for entries where there is a multiple choice of options)
• Make a pull request against this repository to include your new project

• Projects can be changed/removed via pull request at any time. We encourage projects that have been filled or are no longer relevant to be updated accordingly.
• Projects that are complete or in progress require a "link" field used to document the project results (eg, a project webpage, etc)
• For example, the following should be done when work on a project has started:
  • Find the corresponding project in the project directory
  • Edit the status to be In progress
  • Add an entry in the mentees list (or add mentees: to start one) and then add the name ( name: <name>) and project page link ( link: project-webpage) to allow everyone to find the ongoing work
  • Make a pull request with these changes (see above more for information
