EpiForecasts website

This repository contains the source code for the EpiForecasts website. This website is built with quarto and relies on automation wherever possible.

Adding a new team member

Used to generate this page: https://epiforecasts.io/people.html.

Adding a new team member only requires adding a new team member ID card in _data/team/. The README there details how to do it.

The 'people' page will automatically include the new member.

Updating the 'Software' page

Used to generate this page: https://epiforecasts.io/software.html.

The 'software' page is automatically generated from the content of the epiforecasts r-universe. If you want to add a new package to the list, you thus have to add it in https://github.com/epiforecasts/universe/blob/main/packages.json with the property "display_website": true.

Updating the list of publications

Used to generate this page: https://epiforecasts.io/pubs.html.

The list of publications is updated semi-automatically each month. Everything is explained in the relevant issue: #3

Writing a new blog post

Used to generate this page: https://epiforecasts.io/blog.html (and the new blog post page).

Create a new folder YYYY-mm-dd-slug/ under posts/ and a file named index.md inside this new folder. You can start your index.md by copying one of the existing blog posts.

Advertising the blog post

The blog is syndicated via an RSS feed: https://epiforecasts.io/blog.xml. People subscribed to this feed will automatically get a notification when you publish a new post.

Additionally, you should advertise it on twitter via the @epiforecasts (ask for the password if you don't it or ask someone to post it for you) and via your personal account if you have one.
