• repo should describe prior art, alternatives, and not use domain-specific jargon so heavily
• documentation should have a getting started guide, renders from plain text format, state how to run tests, served in version control alongside the code, and different versions should be available.
• issue templates and linting/formatting
• container environment provided to show building and provide quick testing or developer environment
• coverage
• outreach or JoSS article
