Hackathon projects

Work within the hackathon will be loosely gathered into projects. More details to come, but so far our idea is to work in the following areas:

• DSL2 / modules
  • DSL2 pipeline conversion (specific pipelines)
  • Writing modules for specific tools
  • DSL2 module code linting and tests
  • DSL2 module template
• Contribute to a pipeline
  • Syncing nf-core template to pipelines
  • Work on specific pipelines (e.g. sarek, scrna)
• Framework tools
  • Sample sheet standardisation (helper tools / website launch / PEP)
  • RefGenie
• Documentation
  • Configs
  • Website docs overhaul
