Plan

Started 2026-11-13. Replaces the 2016 page at this address (whose repository had been deleted; its history is kept in this repo).

Decisions

Sections, in order: AusTraits family, plant family, HAVPlot family, ecoacoustics family, species lists & change detection family, Apps & packages (current, then retired), Papers & code, About. The families come first because they are the group’s main current programmes.
Quarto, not Jekyll. The group already uses Quarto (Overstorey, APD, traits.build book). Jekyll on GitHub Pages is pinned to an old version and needs a Ruby toolchain to preview. Deployment is by GitHub Action (.github/workflows/publish.yml) with Pages set to build from Actions, not from a branch.
No Bootstrap. _quarto.yml sets minimal: true; all styling is in assets/style.css. .d-none and .listing-no-matching are hidden in that stylesheet because Quarto’s listing markup expects Bootstrap to hide them.
Content lives in data, not markup. Tools are in data/*.yml, one file per section; section text is in index.qmd. Cards and rows are rendered by _templates/cards.ejs and _templates/rows.ejs.
Papers & code lists only papers with reproducible code in a public repository. Full publication lists are left to the Google Scholar profiles linked in that section.
Only public repositories get a GitHub link. HAVPlot’s repositories (havplot.build, plots.build) are private, so their cards set private: true and show “Not yet public”.
Logos are copied into assets/logos/, downscaled to at most 240 px, not hotlinked from package repositories.

Invariants

Do not indent HTML in _templates/*.ejs. Quarto passes template output through Markdown, so a line with four leading spaces becomes a code block. This has already broken the cards once.
Anchor ids austraits, plant, havplot, ecoacoustics, specieslists, packages, papers and about are linked from the header, the hero and possibly from elsewhere; keep them stable.
The repo must not contain a top-level folder named after an existing project site (for example plant/ or APCalign/), because it would shadow traitecoevo.github.io/<project>/.

Open

Check every blurb with the tool’s maintainer; several were written from READMEs.
Will’s lab: link a members page if willcornwell.org has one (currently links the home page).
When HAVPlot repositories become public, remove private: true from data/havplot.yml.
Logos for tools that have none (plant, APD, odelia, …).
Decide on public repositories left off the page: floracle (nascent), austraits.org, austraits-api, austraits.portal, APCalign-app, traits.build-book, traits.build-template (all reachable through other cards), taxonAlign.dataprep, plant-meta, austraits-meta, logpile, kossyphen, spatRast, sizedist, cornsters_australian_annuals, aus_trait_gradients, australian_plant_endemism, aus_gbif_clean, fg_spectral_diversity, AI-species-catalogue, shinystats, austraits-python, austraits-bigdata-lessons, sTEP_overlap, richness, tree_rings, mortality_models, experimentr, traitecoevo_project_templates, remake_baad_example, plant_talk, data_versioning, callr, drat and threatened_species_traits (projects, not papers; perhaps a future “Data & projects” list), and the forks.
Papers & code: add DOIs for competition_kernels, mortality_bci, reproductive_allocation_kuringgai and colors_in_citizen_science, update growth_trajectories from the bioRxiv preprint to the published version, and add more recent papers with code (many sit in personal or student accounts, not this org).
Keep this page and traitecoevo.r-universe.dev (packages.json in that repo) in step: a card with universe: true must be in the registry. traitecoevo.r-universe.dev#3 adds saltbush, rabbit, birdnetprocess, EcoacousticUtilities, taxonAlign, odelia, regnans, fieldtrial, phylloptim, framecpp and responses.build. Once it is merged and they build, set universe: true on their cards (the ecoacoustic_utilities card in data/ecoacoustics.yml already sets package: EcoacousticUtilities).
Possible later: a scheduled link check, and a list of recent releases pulled from GitHub.
