This is the community site for the Stanford University Research Software Engineers. It is a part of the usrse GitHub organization, and serves as a portal to grow community around research software engineering at Stanford.
- How Does it Work? or specifically, what features does the page offer?
- Creating Your Community comes down to creating a clone of the respository in the usrse GitHub organization.
The site offers the following features:
- A site wide search, and "Find an RSE" search to help users find support they need.
- An optional Twitter feed if your group shares an alias.
- Individual pages for your site members. Each individual can share a biography and areas of expertise to better offer support to users.
Additionally, all repositories in the usrse GitHub organization that begin with "community" serve a json data structure that is used to search across the sites from a common page. This means that any user can visit this page, and get directed to support at your institution.
