Intergalactic Utilities Commission |
The Intergalactic Utilities Commission (IUC) was established in 2012 to enable the pervasive use of the main Galaxy Tool Shed by ensuring the repositories available include contents that are functionally correct and optimized for installation into local Galaxies. When appropriate, the group provides guidance to Galaxy tool developers so that they can improve the quality of their repositories.
- Maintains a set of high quality Galaxy tools in the GitHub repository. This repo serves as an excellent example and inspiration to all Galaxy tool developers.
- Cultivates and shares the Galaxy tool development best practices document.
- Provides support to tool developers on a public Gitter channel.
IUC membership evolves over time and helpful community contributors are asked to join.
