Contributions

We are eager to encourage contributions.

These can take the form either of new notebooks, or proposed edits for existing notebooks. Either kind of contribution can be made by issuing a pull request.

However, to deal with the well-known problem that normal jupyter notebooks do not "play nicely" with github version control, we will require interactions with contributors to be conducted after the installation of the jupytext tool. Specifically, you will need to follow the instructions for installing jupytext on your computer, and then need to configure it to use the "percent" format. Over time, we intend to add the necessary metadata to all our jupyter notebooks to make them automatically invoke jupytext when compiled.
