This is the developer wiki. For more on how to use ResearchEquals, visit our knowledge base instead.

This wiki is being written for version 2 of ResearchEquals. If you are reading this before our relaunch, some of this might not make sense in the current deployment. If you are looking to develop for version 1, the best point of entry is the README.

GitHub is our centralized place of consensus building for developers. Everything of relevance has to go through GitHub to go into production. This helps us keep the important things close by. This means the core of consensus building happens in the following places:

• the repository,
• the issues,
• the pull requests,
• the projects, and
• this wiki.

At this time, we opt not to use the discussion forum. This may change in case we need more discussions and decision management.

Planning

We are looking to relaunch on February 1st, 2025 (three years after our initial launch 🥳). This is not a hard plan just yet, as we are still looking at how to get there.
