Single Voxel Group Website

Purpose and scope

This is the GitHub repository for the Single Voxel Group website (https://sotnir.github.io/svg). The website serves as a central hub supporting information sharing, event announcements, and access to shared resources.

The website is maintained by volunteers and is intended as a neutral platform. It does not set academic direction, research priorities, group strategy, or leadership decisions, and functions solely as a support and communication resource for the community.

Roles and responsibilities

• Website maintenance is carried out by the web working group, which is open to all members of the Single Voxel Group.
• The working group is volunteer-based, with responsibilities shared and distributed to avoid reliance on any single individual.
• The web working group is responsible for:
  • Publishing workshop-related content
  • Technical maintenance and updates
  • Improving website usability, accessibility, discoverability, and integration with other relevant platforms.

Content review frequency

• Website content is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis (every three months) or aligned with workshop schedules.
