Contributing

If you use make - you can run:

• make preview: preview the site with auto update as you make changes
• make render: just builds the site, with output to _site/

Both make targets above make sure that necessary R dependencies are installed before running.

Note that quarto cli tool is required.

Make each package on the packages page a Bootstrap card

Making each one a card will allow for more information to be included.

What we could include:

(already there)

• package name
• short description

(not there yet)

• status badge (link to our badges website probably)
• link to cran page if on cran
• link to source on github

Include additional metadata on packages page

What we'd like to include (add more as we think of them):

• Badges (the ones defined in https://github.com/getwilds/badges)
• what else?

WILDS repository info

Using the github api via the gh package is easy (e.g., API method for getting org repos), so we can do that.

But we likely want to partition out packages on the website by type and/or status badges. Only a few WIILDS repos are using status badges right now. And we have no way of partitioning repos based on type of repo, e.g., workflow vs. package. This could be done using github topics, those label things you can add if you click the little ⚙️ icon on the landing page of a repo.

bslib::cards images are stretched

bslib::card_image by default seems to force the image to fill the entire card, which makes it look stretched out. I cooked up the abomination below to replace bslib::card_image, but maybe there's a better way?

div(style = "display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100%;",
        tags$a(href = "packages.html",
          img(src = "assets/WDLlogo.png", 
              style = "max-width: 100%; height: auto;"))
    )

More links to vignettes from tools in the WILDS

A tab for "Vignettes" for the packages would be a great.

For example, I have to go to packages, then click on a package, then click on the url on the side to get to the vignette for it assuming I know to do that. ;)

Add more obvious links to the GitHub organization itself

We need a "See our GitHub organization" link on every.single.page in the footer or something.

High level decisions

• The current set of pages is taken from https://www.tidyverse.org/ - we could change those of course
• Currently using Quarto, with the website option. Do we want to use a different technology?
• Style? Do we want to approximate the style of https://hutchdatascience.org/ ?

Can the repo get a Makefile?

For those of us who are bad at Quarto but good at Make (perhaps this is only me)

Add more prose to website

@seankross can you delineate what you'd like to add so we don't forget?

Define WILDS on the front page

We need to define what WILDS stands for on the front page.
