Creating new sub-books / repos

[lgeistlinger]

Hi @hpages sorry to bother with some repo admin question again, but members of the OSCA maintenance team currently don't seem to be able to create new repos under https://github.com/OSCA-source:

That means I am particularly missing the green "New" button that I would see eg under my organization's github account:

Can the OSCA maintenance team be given the permission to create new repos?

In this context, I also wonder what the process for adding new sub-books to the OSCA book under the current framework would be. Assuming we create a new repo representing a new sub-book following the architecture of the other sub-book repos, how do we get the BBS to build the new sub-book and incorporate it into the book that's displayed under https://bioconductor.org/books/release/OSCA?

It seems that all what's needed would be to add another subsection to the contents listed here?

I think you need to be a member of the OSCA-source organization in order to create new repositories. Right now there are only 3 members: @LTLA, @vjcitn, and myself. Aaron created the whole thing and then added us later. With his permission I can add you or I can just create the new repository for you. What do you prefer @LTLA?

Sure, go ahead.
