This repository contains the proposed Google Season of Docs projects. Please see announcement for details about GSoD.

The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is a specification for describing analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, from workstations to cluster, cloud, and high performance computing (HPC) environments. CWL is designed to meet the needs of data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Astronomy, Physics, and Chemistry.

Welcome! Thanks for considering doing a project with CWL. Please look through the available projects in this repo and contact the mentors. Feel free to propose your own projects too!

Proposals:

• Add background information about scientific workflow system
• Compile BioStar questions into FAQs

Ideas:

• Furnish general documentation
• Expand the user guide
• Documentation of other projects in the ecosystem

If you have a project in mind and want to volunteer to become a mentor please fork this repo, add information about your proposed project in a new directory and start a pull request.

• Title of the project
• Means of contacting the mentors
• Description of the proposed project
• Relevant information (previous work, source of information, related code, etc.)
• Indicative ength of the proposed project. As GSoD allows two project lengths, the exact project length depends on writer's availability and the nature of the project.
