This repository is for the discussion of development ideas for the FOOOF tool for parameterizing neural power spectra.
The goal of this repository is to separate out code and maintenance questions for the FOOOF package from discussion of ideas about new versions or substantial changes to the module.
As a rule of thumb, if an idea or question is about the code in the project, it's likely a code or maintenance problem, whereas if an idea is about the concepts and approach, it's likely a development idea.
Anything that relates to a bug report, an implementation question, requesting help for using the module, or a feature request that doesn't required a major update (for example, a new function in an existing module, or an extension of an existing functionality) is considered a code or maintenance issue.
Code or maintenance questions should be directed to issues page of the main repository.
By development ideas, we mean ideas for a major addition or change of conceptual approach about how FOOOF should work. This also includes large additions to the codebase, such as a new sub-module, and/or discussion of best practices and tutorial materials for how we want to recommend usage of the tool. Anything that would require a new major release to the codebase is a development idea.
For example, the following would all be considered development ideas:
For any ideas that fall into this category, please open an issue in this repository.
Once an issue is opened, this repository can then be used by FOOOF developers to discuss and explore these ideas. If an idea is decided upon, a plan will be made for implementation, which can move to a fork or branch of the core repository, once the idea is translated into code tasks.
