nexus is a threefold documentation resource for open research: native, external via URL pointers, and hybrid. Hybrid documentation is commentary generated when working through an external resource such as a tutorial. This is intended to fill context gaps, note gotchas and so on: Make the path easier to follow.
This is the meta-narrative for nexus, main branch README.md.
nexus source is the gh-pages branch.
nexus publishes at https://robfatland.github.io/nexus.
This repo is motivated by frustration: With sorting out some technical detail, writing out notes, losing the notes, and coming back to the same task three months later. The process to deal with this is to build the nexus static website using github pages. Themes are all within the topic of open science practice and how to build research computing cyberinfrastructure.
