Standard Practices
SCEC is standardized software project practices:
- Standard elements in git repo (readme.md, license.txt, authors etc)
- Standard git repo organization to support open-source releases and automated testing
- Connecting git project to run tests on commit
- Process of contributing new releases to pypy, conda (dockerhub, singularity)

- Design codes and distribution as python modules, packages (and libraries if that term is used)
- Potential build and deploy tools (ansible, others?)
