[Bioc-devel] Idea for improved visibility of Bioconductor packages

For people like me who might be a bit behind on social media, it might be
nice to identify where the blurb is generated from.  Is it the first
sentence of the description or ...?

Hi Thomas,

thank you for sharing your idea!

One possibility would be to include a package icon/logo next to the

package

name if the package provides one. This file could be saved as

inst/logo.png

or vignettes/logo.png, e.g. see
https://github.com/aoles/EBImage/blob/master/vignettes/logo.png

Best,
Andrzej

I just sat down to write a linkedIn update about my recent package and
noticed that a thumbnail styled summary was added once I put in the URL

for

my package (this is probably old news - I?m not much of a social media
guy). The summary was a bit dull though, and I was wondering if it was
possible to change something on the package landing pages to spice

these

thumbnails up a bit, so they would appear more exciting when people

share

their work on Facebook/linkedIn/Twitter?

Don?t know how much work this entail - it is definitely in the
nice-to-have rather than need-to-have pile of feature requests
