What is the DaSL Collection?

DaSL Collection uses the GitHub API to gather repositories that we have worked on. It renders the table in a markdown-readable format.

The following are needed to list your repository in the collection:

Your repository must be created under the jhudsl or fhdsl organizations. For repositories under other organizations, you can fork the repository into the jhudsl or fhdsl organizations. Example
Your repository “code” tab must have a description, homepage, and topic tags filled out in the “About” section on the righthand side.
Your repository must be set to public.
Your repository must have at least one of three tags: course (general purpose courses), hutch-course (Fred Hutch specific courses), or edtech-software. If you feel there is another applicable category that should be listed, please reach out to Ava.

The collection is rendered on Sundays between 3am and 5am EST.

You can use the following link:

Where is the gear button next to the “About” menu?

Enter a concise description, for example “A guide for instructors using AnVIL for workshops, lessons, or courses.”

Add a description to the repository.

Make sure you link to the website where your course is being rendered. For example, this repository links to https://jhudatascience.org/AnVIL_Book_Instructor_Guide.

Add a homepage link to the repository.

Finally, you should add any relevant topics, as they will be listed in the Collection table!
