organization README.md

[gaelforget]

Dear org members

as you may have noticed, the landing page on the org is a bit different since I added README.md via the new .github repo earlier today

The initial README.md is essentially of list of links to all org repos with their respective descriptions. Nothing fancy, or controversial imho, but I thought this was already better (& more fair) than just highlighting a few repos by pinning them.

I am hoping to be able to make at least a few cosmetic improvements over the coming week or so

Please consider making suggestions here on what you'd like to see in the org README.md moving forward

[Datseris]

Oh NICE! Thanks a lot for the effort @gaelforget ! We can improve on this as time goes by! Although I'd vote that making this much longer isn't much useful because it would start taking too long until a user sees the repositories of the organization!

[Alexander-Barth]

I was wondering if we can add a nice plot to the readme and stumbled upon this plot from https://github.com/JuliaClimate/GlobalOceanNotebooks:

Are the labels "Nature" and "Human+Nature" are not reversed?

[Datseris]

yeah, the labels here are clearly wrong. But I don't think this the best plot we can go for. Anything shown a geospatial map of the entire planet is visually much nicer :D

[gaelforget]

thanks @Alexander-Barth for pointing out the legend glitch.

Could you the geospatial map from the same series I guess https://gaelforget.github.io/ClimateModels.jl/dev/examples/IPCC.html

or maybe make a row with small versions of both plots + the org logo or something like that

[gaelforget]

btw, I hope to revisit the stuff in the GlobalOceanNotebooks repo soon. some of it is outdated / redundant + I want to add others

[gaelforget]

another thing I was thinking to add is a star button for each repo -- like the one seen @ https://juliaclimate.github.io/GlobalOceanNotebooks/

does anyone know of a good way to do this in markdown?

Exactly what I was wondering! I think this does the trick, right? https://github.com/Naereen/badges#github-stars

Have now added the two plots discussed above + the star badges

At this point I feel, we could remove the pinned repo part. It's now sort of redundant (all are essentially pinned in README.md) and in the way of the repo list found below in the org landing page.

wondering about the picture banner(s) : at the top, bottom, or both?

some thoughts : maybe both a top banner and a bottom banner is effective. could vary plots. link to broader picture galleries via https://juliaclimate.org

[Datseris]

Last two pictures have same title and colorbar but the actual plot is different...? why?

good point. I added legends + a reference to the IPCC atlas

[Datseris]

I like a lot the banner the current page has. it's not produced with julia but it is beautiful nevertheless! The plots representing each individual package are made in Julia, so we got that aspect covered! My vote would be to not replace the current banner for a climate plot. But I tend to lean more towards artistic perspectives so we need more opinions!

[gaelforget]

not sure if that's what you meant but these plots were generated with Makie.jl ( this notebook )

[Datseris]

The banner of the homepage I see is:

This certainly wasn't produced with Makie.jl. I simply stated that I like this banner a lot, and I vote to not change it for a plot. Perhaps I'm confused about where you suggest that we use the plots...?
