Various comments / questions

[ReinderVosDeWael]

Hi, I've been having a look at the standards checklist and had a couple of questions / comments:

• Within the gold documentation tier, would it be valuable to add roles/commitments of the active maintainers with the maintenance status?
• In the Gold infrastructure tier, why did you choose to align with a specific journal? Why not a less restrictive publication requirement such as ‘published with open access’?
• As “Continuous integration builds packages” is included as a bullet, would it be good to also recommend that the build branch(es) is/are protected?
• In the Bronze infrastructure tier, I suspect that the DOI pointing to the latest version may run into some pragmatic clashes with researcher incentives. For example, when I built BrainSpace, the team chose to have only a DOI for our paper, not the software, as paper citations are, unfortunately, perceived to be more valuable.
• Is "All items from bronze tier" necessary in the gold tier? This is already covered within the silver tier, and all items from silver tier is already a requirement in the gold tier.
• Should we try to bring this repo as much in line with the NMIND-Standards as possible? E.g. include issue templates, code of conduct, etc...

I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on these.
