[Bioc-devel] Missed deadline
Hi Gabe & Levi, Here is my current plan: 1 - complete the requirements checklist ( http://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-submission/) 2 - get feedback the in-house NGS team, and then from the rest of in-house bioinformatics (others who use R more may spot some issues) 3 - set up pull requests release on github for community testing 4 - advertise github repo on bioconductor and biostars forums 5 - compare to other packages 6 - write paper (decide which journal) 7 - have submission of paper + package ready for October deadline. Regarding the sequence of events - do other authors usually release on bioconductor before submission of a paper or at the same time? What would you recommend? Thanks for the help Kenneth

Indeed, and to be a bit more explicit about Levi's point, you *can* publish your package to bioconductor any time after the deadline, it will simply go to the development repo for ~6 months, which, as he points out, may not be a bad thing if it's not ready yet.

Have I missed the deadline for the latest release? I have created a package, that runs great but there are a number of errors still from R
CMD
check that I am sorting out. This is my first R package so I'm not sure if development is far enough along, although I suspect it might be.
IMHO, when you're not sure a package is mature enough, and especially for
a
first package, it's actually better to miss the release deadline and allow
bioc-devel users test your package for 6 months before entering the
release
cycle. Making significant bug fixes and other changes becomes more
complicated and more of a pain for you and your users once you are in the
release...
