Staged Extensions

Description

The staged-extensions GitHub repository is used to register new extensions for publication in the Neurodata Extensions Catalog (NDX Catalog). It serves as the mechanism for reviewing and accepting new extensions into the official catalog.

The staged-extensions repository provides a standardized process for:

  • Submitting extensions for review
  • Conducting community peer review of extensions
  • Testing extensions for compliance with NDX standards
  • Publishing approved extensions to the NDX Catalog

Usage

  1. Fork the staged-extensions repository
  2. Create a YAML file describing your extension in the staged-extensions folder:
name: ndx-my-extension
version: 0.1.0
src: https://github.com/username/ndx-my-extension
pip: ndx-my-extension
