Description
We have been invited to write a paper for cclib (previous one here) for an upcoming special issue on modular and interoperable software, with a deadline of January 30th. In tandem we have been working on a fundamental rewrite of how cclib works inside (composable parser combinators with no more monolithic extract methods) and outside (returning a graph of ccData instances so fragments can be represented), and we plan on having an alpha release of 2.0.0 at paper submission time. (We may ask for an extension but it's not clear yet.)
Many people have contributed significantly to cclib since the previous paper (over 15 years old now) to make it what it is today; as an additional token of gratitude, the development team invites you, dear pinged reader, to be an author on the paper. There is no obligation to contribute (to this mad rush to the finish line for the paper or code), but we are open to that as well.
If you choose to be an author, please respond with
- your preferred name
- your current professional/academic affiliation
- your ORCID, if you have one
If you don't want to be in the author list, please tell us.
If you think you should be in the author list and are not, please comment and we will strongly consider adding you.
If you are not comfortable sharing any of this information publicly in the issue thread, feel free to email me instead (my first name period my last name at gmail.com).
