a top priority -- to reinstate the top level MIxS release folder with all of the v6.0 release files #692

Open lschriml opened 8 months ago

With some recent updates to this directory, the MIxS release folder had been moved to a sub, sub,sub directory. Although the release is available in the releases directory (far right of the page), this is too obscure for our users, who have always had a top level release directory, to which they maintain links, to get the file(s), that they need.

The action to be taken, in the next week, is to recreate a top level MIxS release folder in this repository, so that when major releases are made and stored under 'releases' area as they are currently, that the releases, top level, folder is also populated with the latest release files. Also, that when we are in between major releases, the minor releases should have a folder there as well.

The direct to be reinstated at the top level of this repository: GenomicsStandardsConsortium/mixs should be: releases v6.0 release minor releases: v 6.1 release v 6.2 release

Yes, I recognize this replicates the 'releases' section, however, it is needed for our end users to make it easy to get to those files.

Cheers, Lynn

This should be discussed at both TWG and CIG. My view is that the current GitHub repo is not the correct place to be storing the old versions of the checklists (or anything else), but having the current version files (our products if you like) front and center in an obvious place would be a good thing.

Agreed, good point Chris. Make it easy for users to find the most recent release files.

I'll make sure this is top of the agenda at the TWG call next week. With the linkml release, it should now be simple to find the latest release right on the home code page in github in the folder MIxS. Older releases are tagged and can be found that way. As for Chris, I agree that github should be where developers (who will understand github) should go to look for files, whereas most people will access it via our website and documentation. We need to make sure all of it is clear, including the readme on github. I also need to update the PURLs. Presumably the old ones still work as they should point to tags, but I need to check them.
