Ronald Beavis and Conor C Jenkins had a discussion about developing some guidelines for publication of code related to mass spectrometry data analysis. Ronald and I spoke about getting started with some examples of tools coded in some of the most popular languages utilized to start off (python, R, C++, and C#). This discussion lead to the creation of a slack group and this repository.
The idea is to define some principles, and to illustrate these using different programming languages and MS-related tools, to eventually define some best practice for the wider community.
